AI for Humanity began with 39 authors who trusted a bold idea โ that a living, human-centered anthology could show what ethical AI looks like in practice. Their chapters are written and ready, and they remain the heart of this platform. Today, I also want to recognize the humans who went beyond the page โ starting withย Rei Llazani, whose vision for the American Society for AI and belief that โwhen good people come together, good things happenโ gave us the container for this work โ andย my partne

Proud to share and contribute to AI for Humanity: Human-Centered Strategies for Innovation and Impact with American Society for AI What resonates most deeply for me about this project is its orientation: AI not as a replacement for human judgment, but as a collaborator that strengthens it. This is especially critical in health, education, leadership, and care-centered systemsโwhere discernment, context, and relationship matter. My chapter, Adjusted Intelligence, explores what it looks like to al

If weโre serious about ethical AI, we have to look at how the systems we build shape how we think, decide, and relate. AI for Humanity examines human responsibility and its consequences with clarity and depth. Incredibly fortunate to co-author โEchoes in the Machineโ with Cristina Leira, PhD.

Thank you,ย Elizabeth (Liz) Ngonzi, for spotlighting the Ethics chapters, and thank you to the American Society for AI for the opportunity to contribute to AI for Humanity. Iโm especially grateful to Jennifer Rochlis, Ph.D., for co-authoring our chapter: โEchoes in the Machine: How AI Reflects and Reshapes Us.โ One line that anchors it: AI doesnโt just mirror us. It can train us. So the ethical question becomes: are we building systems that expand human agency, or quietly narrow it? Honored to

Developing AI with a Moral Frame | Gary Riccio, Ph.D. posted on the topic | LinkedIn
Our best and brightest are starting to get it. Generative #AI are not simply tools. They are capabilities that users develop the same way individuals develop each other within teams and societies. To the extent users don't develop AI purposefully within a #moral frame, they will fall back on the moral frame or lack thereof used by others who developed a specific AI agent or the databases generally available to AI. Use of generative AI should be considered more like #personnel development (e.g.
