Happy to share my contribution to "AI for Humanity" - a global anthology combining human expertise with AI tools to advance ethical, human-centered innovation. My chapter, "Reskilling the Workforce for an AI-Driven Economy," tackles one of our generation's defining challenges: How do we ensure technological progress uplifts people rather than leaving them behind? What's inside: - An interdisciplinary roadmap for workforce transformation - Real-world use cases spanning healthcare, finance, log
Gary Riccio, Ph.D. | Developing AI with a Moral Frame
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.
