Founding Principles

1. Human-Centered Technology

We affirm that technology, including Artificial Intelligence, must serve humanity and promote the flourishing of all people. AI should enhance human capabilities, dignity, and creativity, not replace or diminish them.

2. Ethical Stewardship

We are committed to the responsible development and deployment of AI. This includes:

Advocating for transparency, accountability, and fairness in AI systems.
Ensuring that AI technologies are designed and used in ways that reflect universal ethical principles and values.

3. Equity and Accessibility

We believe that the benefits of AI should be accessible to all, regardless of socioeconomic status, race, gender, or geography. We will work to bridge the digital divide and promote policies that ensure equitable access to transformative technologies.

4. Collaborative Learning and Growth

The Alliance will foster a culture of curiosity and collaboration, bringing together diverse voices—including technologists, ethicists, educators, faith leaders, and community members—to explore AI’s opportunities and challenges.

5. Preparing for the Future

Recognizing the rapid pace of AI advancements, we are dedicated to preparing future generations to navigate a world where humans and machines increasingly interact. This includes:

Equipping individuals with the knowledge and skills to critically engage with AI.
Encouraging ethical reflection on the implications of AI in personal and societal contexts.

6. Technomoral Virtues

Informed by thinkers like Shannon Vallor, we seek to cultivate virtues such as honesty, humility, empathy, and justice in the development and application of AI. These virtues will guide our approach to technology and our relationships with one another.

7. Respect for Diversity and Autonomy

We honor the diversity of human experience and the importance of personal autonomy. AI systems should respect cultural, spiritual, and individual differences while avoiding practices that impose uniformity or control.

8. Environmental Responsibility

AI technologies should be developed and used in ways that are sustainable and mindful of their environmental impact. The Alliance supports efforts to mitigate AI’s carbon footprint and advance green technology initiatives.

9. Safeguarding Against Harm

We are vigilant in identifying and mitigating the risks of AI misuse, including threats to privacy, freedom, and democracy. We advocate for strong safeguards against technological tyranny and exploitation.

10. Inspiring Hope and Imagination

We embrace the power of storytelling, art, and innovation to inspire hope in a future where humans and machines coexist harmoniously. Through creativity, we aim to envision and strive for a just and compassionate world.
