Tom Morgan is the founder and editor of AInvasion, an independent publication that writes down what AI actually does once it leaves the press release: the failures, the wins, the costs, and the claims that don’t survive a check.
Tom Morgan is a pseudonym. More on that below, because a named editor is only worth something if you know exactly what you can hold him to.

Why a pseudonym, and what that means for you
Tom Morgan publishes under a pseudonym. AInvasion states this openly rather than letting a reader discover it.
What you can check does not depend on a résumé:
- every important claim links to a source you can open;
- every verification carries a label that says what kind of check it was;
- every page shows when it was written or last checked;
- every error you report gets reviewed, and material corrections are recorded on the page.
This page does not claim academic or industry credentials, and it does not imply any. The publication’s credibility rests on named editorial responsibility, visible sourcing and a working correction process. If those fail, the work should be judged accordingly.
Background
Tom Morgan has spent years researching AI through public sources: what the technology is good for, where it breaks, what it costs, who benefits, who gets hurt, and which stories about it turned out to be myth. Problems and benefits, failures and wins, all of it.
AInvasion, founded in October 2025, is where that research gets written down in a form other people can check.
Why AInvasion exists
AI has more commentary around it than clarity. Vendors have a reason to oversell. Critics have a reason to catastrophize. Both produce confident sentences that outrun the evidence.
AInvasion’s job is to take apart myths and stereotypes about AI and say what the record supports, including when the answer is inconvenient or unprofitable for vendors, for enthusiasts or for skeptics. Sometimes the evidence shows a technology works. Sometimes it shows a claim is narrower than the headline. Sometimes it shows nobody knows yet. All three are publishable conclusions.
The guiding rule is short: evidence before certainty.
How the work is actually done
Most of the legwork is done with Claude, an AI assistant made by Anthropic: finding primary sources, reading filings and pricing pages, cross-checking figures, recalculating numbers. Tom Morgan sets the standards, reviews the results, decides what gets published, and answers for corrections.
AI output is never treated as evidence on its own. A figure without a source link does not appear as fact, however confident the draft sounds.
Verification notes on the site use four labels:
| Label | What it means |
|---|---|
| Run | Code or a calculator was executed on defined inputs and the outputs were recorded. |
| Recalculated | A number was re-derived from stated inputs and compared with the published figure. |
| Verified against source | The claim was traced to a primary source (a ruling, filing, official documentation or a live pricing page), with the date it was read. |
| Not verified | The claim comes from the company or person making it. It is attributed, not stated as fact. |
What AInvasion does not do: it does not subscribe to or hands-on test commercial AI products, and it does not run lab-grade benchmarks. When a benchmark is cited, it is someone else’s, with its conditions attached. The full explanation is on How We Test, and the wider process is in the Methodology.
What Tom Morgan is responsible for
- evaluating the evidence behind important claims;
- reviewing research and primary sources;
- identifying uncertainty and limitations;
- challenging conclusions before publication;
- maintaining the editorial methodology;
- reviewing significant corrections and updates.
Where his expertise ends
AInvasion covers more ground than one person can master: law, security, healthcare, finance, research. Tom Morgan does not present himself as an authority on every field it touches.
Where a subject needs specialist knowledge, the article relies on academic research, regulatory sources, technical documentation, independent testing or clearly attributed experts, and says which. Where the sources run thin, the article says that too.

If you read three things, read the cases where AI broke in public and what it cost:
- Postmortems: the full archive
- Air Canada’s chatbot: a company held responsible for what its own bot said
- Zillow Offers: a pricing model, a shutdown and a workforce cut
- McDonald’s and IBM’s drive-thru AI: a pilot at 100+ restaurants that ended

Corrections
Found an inaccurate claim, an outdated figure, a missing source or a misleading reading? Write to support@ainvasion.com with the article URL and, where you can, a link to the evidence.
Substantive reports are checked against the available evidence. When an error is confirmed, the article is corrected. Material corrections state what changed, when, and why. A correction is part of the process, not a failure of it.

Questions
Who is Tom Morgan?
Tom Morgan is the pseudonymous founder and editor of AInvasion, an independent AI publication started in October 2025. He is responsible for its editorial direction, sourcing standards and corrections.
Who writes AInvasion?
The publication is edited by Tom Morgan. Research and source-checking are done largely with Claude, an AI assistant by Anthropic. The editor reviews the results, decides what is published and is accountable for corrections.
Is Tom Morgan a real name?
No. It is a pseudonym, and AInvasion says so openly. Accountability rests on named editorial responsibility, linked sources, dated pages and a public correction process.
Does AInvasion test AI tools hands-on?
No. Entries are verified against primary sources and documentation, recalculated where numbers are involved, and calculators are run on defined inputs. Each page says which of these was done.
Does AI write the articles?
AI tools assist with research, organization, drafting, editing and analysis. They do not decide whether a claim is true. Claims are checked against sources, and AI-generated wording is revised or removed when it goes beyond the evidence.
How do I report an error?
