Who technology serves, who it harms, and who is doing something about it

Use AI as a tool — not as gospel

As you can see, I used AI to create this website. Like so many today, I have complicated feelings about Big Tech and AI, especially in the ways it impacts creative arts and intellectual property, the labor market and employee retention, environmental resources, and exacerbates wealth inequality and funding allocation. There are beneficial tools, especially to support entrepreneurs or to facilitate web design or presentation structure. But we are constantly weighing the costs of technology and I will continue to add articles or books that explore the ethical challenges, especially on the underserved communities I want to help. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the topic as well.

It can follow analysis; but it has no power of anticipating any analytical relations or truths. Its province is to assist us in making available what we are already acquainted with.”
