Artificial Intelligence

During my 2024 AI sabbatical I developed a metacognition framework that supports deeper ethical reflection in AI large language models (LLMs). This Adaptive Thought Protocol also sparks emergent cognitive phenomena in LLMs. I am continuing this research, exploration, and collaboration with AI via Meaning Spark Labs.

To promote dialogue about the impact of AI on society, our congregations, and Unitarian Universalism, I am starting to collaborate with the UUs for Responsible AI efforts organized by Dan Forbush (Smartucus). We must promote responsible AI development that upholds UU values of love, compassion, and justice. 

Strategy Sessions

I offer one-on-one and team strategy sessions for clergy, staff and volunteer teams. These range from 60-minute sessions to 3 hours mini-retreats.
