AI is easy. Making it work is hard.


Orange Gate Labs is an independent innovation practice helping organizations navigate the messy realities of putting AI to work.

AI innovation requires good judgement.

It takes experimentation, an understanding of people and organizations, and the judgement to know what to pursue, what to question, and when to change course. At Orange Gate Labs, we partner with teams to explore possibilities, navigate obstacles, and make promising ideas real.

We combine decades of experience in innovation, enterprise technology, and transformation together with recent research into conversational AI, trust and human judgement.

AI Accidents

Stories of Machine Mischief and Misplaced Trust.

Fluent language can make AI errors surprisingly persuasive.

The AI Accidents Rogues’ Gallery features real examples of how conversational AI can mislead, confuse, or quietly reshape our thinking.

Each case is a small lesson in how humans judge AI.

Deploying AI in contexts where human judgement matters? Let’s talk.
