A R Uribe

A.R. Uribe is the pen name of two Peruvian brothers whose paths could not have been more different—and yet led them to the same story.

Rodrigo Uribe is a scientific researcher in artificial intelligence and a professor at some of the most prestigious universities in Peru, where he teaches how machines work, learn, and make decisions.

Alejandro Uribe is a journalist and polyglot; he speaks five languages and has traveled through more than thirty countries across several continents, exploring cultures, stories, and the many ways human beings dream, believe, and organize themselves.

One understands how machines work.

The other, the complexity of human experience.

A World Free of Politicians was born during a late-night conversation when they were both teenagers. What began as a debate about democracy, technology, and free will evolved, over the years, into a shared project: a seven-year journey to build the world of IO and to question what happens when power is no longer in human hands.
