Ethical & Human-First AI
Ethics in AI isn’t abstract for publishing and writing—it’s personal.
This category centers the human values that underpin creative work: authorship, consent, labor, trust, and responsibility. Here, we examine how AI intersects with those values and why clear ethical positions matter long before policies or platforms demand them.
