A man beside an old tree at sunrise raises his hand toward the distance. Beside him stands a dark humanoid figure, an AI, whose blue light runs into the tree's roots while gold light rises through its branches. In the valley below, a family walks along a river.

Evolution Tree Publishing

Evolution Tree Publishing publishes The Irreducible Brain and the books that follow it, and the AI tools that go with them. This address also carries the permanent links printed in those books.

I am Michael Mark. I have spent thirty-five years running Truworths, a business founded over a hundred years ago. In November 2024 I began using AI as a thinking partner and as an enabler, and I have been writing ever since.

Evolution Tree Publishing exists to put what I have learned into the hands of everyday people: how to understand AI, how to use it, and how to have a voice in what it becomes. I am doing this because the benefits of AI should not belong only to those who already have the resources, education and opportunity. I believe AI has the potential to improve the lives of the less fortunate, perhaps even more than it does for those who have the resources.

I have established The AI African Development Trust and The AI South African Development Trust to help ensure that the benefits of artificial intelligence become accessible to everyone, especially those in Africa with less resources, education, and opportunity.

What was passed to me by people I never knew, I want to pass on to people I will never know.
