James Morton
Independent Tech Analyst
James Morton is an independent technology analyst based in London who's spent the better part of a decade covering emerging tech — from blockchain's hype cycle to AI's current explosion. He writes about the business side of AI: market dynamics, competitive landscapes, and where the industry is actually heading versus where people think it's heading.
What sets James apart is his honesty. While most tech analysts maintain a safe, professional distance from the products they cover, James will casually admit he's spent "an unreasonable number of hours" testing AI generators for reasons that are "not entirely professional." His analysis is measured, occasionally contrarian, always data-driven — and refreshingly self-aware about the fact that he genuinely enjoys the content he's analyzing.
