At the intersection of human spirituality and the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence, I am committed to championing ethical frameworks that ensure technology serves humanity's highest dignity. None of us have all the answers when it comes to AI ethics. This profound and uncharted territory requires humility, collaboration, and wisdom. I seek to work with the brightest minds across disciplines to build a world-class ethics team capable of guiding AI development toward amplifying our shared humanity rather than diminishing it. My academic foundation lies in the Humanities, where I earned degrees in theology, psychology, and philosophy (BA Hons), alongside a Diploma in Human and Spiritual Development from two distinguished missionary colleges in Ireland. These studies gave me a profound appreciation for the human condition and the moral questions that underpin our collective future. I honed these insights further while teaching in a young offenders' institution—a transformative experience that deepened my empathy and solidified my resolve to approach complex ethical issues with compassion and clarity. These principles now anchor my advocacy as we navigate the exponential evolution of AI. In an era where technological advancements outpace societal understanding, I dedicate my work to helping individuals, organizations, and businesses to navigate the AI landscape ethically. This effort is rooted in an unwavering belief: technology must drive innovation and uphold the timeless values of human dignity, freedom, and well-being. As the founder of #EthicalAINow, I call for global responsibility and collaboration to shape tomorrow's technologies with wisdom and integrity. This is more than a movement; it’s a mission to ensure AI aligns with humanity's greatest aspirations while avoiding its darkest pitfalls. We live in the most exciting and transformative time in human history—when our collective decisions about AI will define future generations. Together, we can rise to the challenge and make history by choosing progress grounded in ethics, empathy, and vision. Suppose you’re passionate about this essential conversation.

Let us RISE BY LIFTING EACH OTHER in the most exciting and #scarysmart time in Human History.
