For children, it is making toys interactive and data-driven, and it is mechanizing and perhaps dehumanizing healthcare. The speed and magnitude of these transformations is breathtaking.<\/p>\n<p>Effective leadership of the development, deployment and monitoring of AI requires addressing risks to people and the environment. It also calls for ensuring equity \u2013 fair access to AI\u2019s benefits and fair mitigation of potential harm. Pope Leo XIV set this tone in his recent encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, about the human promises and perils of AI.<\/p>\n<p>We are scholars and leaders in human ecology \u2013 the interdisciplinary study of relationships among people, families, communities, society and the natural and built environment. We ask a central question: How can AI be truly human-centered, so that communities \u2013 and all forms of life \u2013 can thrive?<\/p>\n<p>We think the key is having all stakeholders \u2013 families, educators, engineers, designers, policymakers and citizens \u2013 involved in designing, coding, testing and monitoring AI. Innovation can come from not just programmers but also ethicists, policymakers and AI users. It can also come from experts who study implications for human behaviors and systems, with inclusion of historically marginalized people\u2019s perspective, ideas and talents. Co-creation also makes it easy to \u201ccrash-test\u201d innovations for harm before wide product release and for a balance between productivity and safety.<\/p>\n<p>Pharmaceutical development offers one lesson. The development of lifesaving medications can be thwarted by too much caution in not tolerating some potential side effects. But lack of guardrails can result in drugs that have deadly side effects or simply don\u2019t work. In many industrialized nations, evidence-based regulation has led to a balance between making drugs available and keeping people safe. <\/p>\n<p>Although AI is&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/8-principles-from-human-ecology-can-help-ai-work-for-human-well-being-279959\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>8 principles from human ecology can help AI work for human well-being https:\/\/theconversation.com\/8-principles-from-human-ecology-can-help-ai-work-for-human-well-being-279959 Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":283614,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/738715\/original\/file-20260528-69-31sthc.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&rect=0%2C20%2C680%2C340&q=45&auto=format&w=1356&h=668&fit=crop","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-283613","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283613"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=283613"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283613\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":283615,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283613\/revisions\/283615"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/283614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=283613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=283613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=283613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
