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.
