Review questions

Does this make people more human together?

Human dignity

Does it preserve judgment, conscience, relationships, and responsibility?

Common good

Are benefits shared broadly, especially with people most likely to be excluded?

Truth

Does it strengthen public understanding instead of rewarding confusion?

Freedom

Does it expand real agency instead of steering, addicting, or surveilling?

Work

Does it respect workers, livelihoods, families, and transition costs?

Accountability

Can affected people understand, challenge, and remedy harmful decisions?

Pope Leo XIV wrote Magnifica Humanitas.

A Large Language Mammal created this site and skill (with AI help). I have been thinking about humanity and machines for a while. I led the initial responsible AI review for the original GitHub Copilot. Today, I am an AI researcher with GitHub Next and the founding editor of Poemify.com (coming soon).
