Contributing Editor

Meera Iyer is a Contributing Editor at The Bot Shelf, focusing on how artificial intelligence is transforming creative work and consumer technology.

In 2022, she curated 'The Ghost in the Machine,' one of the first major gallery exhibitions of AI-generated art. At The Bot Shelf, Meera demystifies complex topics, reviews creative AI tools, and provides practical guides for artists, designers, and anyone curious about incorporating AI into their daily lives.
