You care about using AI for good
You know AI is powerful. AI-enabled products can feel like magic. But you also know AI can be dangerous. It can be taught to be harmful. It can reinforce and magnify our bias. It can magnify echo chambers, it can rival street drugs with addiction, and have the most intelligent of us question truth and fact.
We’re embarking on an era fraught with unknown risk. It’s the humans using, building and extending AI into our world that must ensure AI creates benefits for everyone.
I’m a dreamer, creator, tinkerer and writer that cares
I started researching AI risks and ethics while I was overseeing a team of product leaders building and evolving SaSS software. I experienced a sharp learning curve as we began integrating AI capabilities into our products. From team member to team member our gaps in understanding AI risks were significant. I came to understand that we — the product team — are the very humans that will ensure AI is used for good.
I now lead an AI practice at Gravity Union, helping our team and our customers use AI for the benefit of everyone.
It’s our job to harness AI
We can usher in the best of what AI offers and use its tremendous capability to make our world safer and healthier. With direction, AI will tackle our largest crisis with super powered solutions — unlock the unsolvable and reverse years of human-created havoc.
Right now, that future is up to us — the dreamers, creators, and inventors leveraging AI and moving it into the world.
Together we shall:
Stay present and design AI toward the future we want to live in
Live intentionally within the values we create for ourselves, teams, companies and society
Build networks of understanding and practice communal sharing of important governing insights
Be humble in our limitations to predict the future and quick to react to the unforeseeable negative consequences
Be hawk-eyed to bad actors — using all of our power to constrain their damage
A resource for product teams
As an experience maker, product builder, or technical maven, you’ve likely noticed the rapid pace of change with AI. We are the ones directing AI into the world. With our human ingenuity, we can ensure the use of AI continues to benefit humanity.
