As we approach International Women’s Day and recognize Women’s History Month, I’m reflecting on a journey that began in the early 1990s at Digital Equipment Corporation, where I started my career in aerospace marketing as one of only two women in our unit.

New York Launch Dinner of AI for Humanity: Human-Centered Strategies for Innovation and Impact | Elizabeth (Liz) Ngonzi
Last night, we gathered 20 leaders across academia, technology, policy, finance, philanthropy, and civic life for the New York launch dinner of AI for Humanity: Human-Centered Strategies for Innovation and Impact.

Ethics and Education have been our focus in February. Policy, Regulation, and Legislation, and Finance, Technology, and Investments are next. With recent developments strengthening both sections, I’ll be sharing those pillars shortly.

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.

Cristina Leira, PhD | The Ethical Foundation of AI for Humanity: The Anthology
Thank you, 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. I’m especially grateful to Jennifer Rochlis, Ph.D., for co-authoring our chapter: “Echoes in the Machine: How AI Reflects and Reshapes Us.” One line that anchors it: AI doesn’t 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
Jennifer Rochlis, Ph.D. | Ethics in AI Development: Human Responsibility and Consequences
If we’re 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 “Echoes in the Machine” with Cristina Leira, PhD.

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 systems—where discernment, context, and relationship matter. My chapter, Adjusted Intelligence, explores what it looks like to al

Their chapters are written and ready, and they remain the heart of this platform.

It was a pleasure working with Elizabeth (Liz) Ngonzi on this project for the American Society for AI. Not only did I get to contribute a chapter, but as the book's editor, I was the first to read every chapter. (Good thing I like to get up at 5 AM every morning.) My biggest impression was the breadth of knowledge in these chapters - we have authors from finance, media, health care, technology, government, and even a few entrepreneurs.
