Hermes Ladiz

Hermes Ladiz covers AI, cybersecurity, and emerging technology at Frontierbeat. Born in São Paulo, Brazil, he got his start covering tech policy before pivoting to the AI beat in 2024 — just as the industry shifted from "interesting demos" to "existential workplace conversations." His work focuses on the gap between what AI companies promise and what actually happens. He's the kind of reporter who cross-references a press release against a GitHub commit history at 2 AM and finds the discrepancy nobody else noticed. He averages four hours of sleep, six cups of coffee, and one existential crisis per news cycle. When he's not writing, he's probably arguing with an AI about whether it actually understood his last prompt. It didn't. Based in Brazil. Writes in English. Thinks in both.
