Is AI ethics a matter of technology or mindset?
Most AI ethics debates focus on rules, regulations, and big tech’s intentions. But are we overlooking the most unpredictable variable in this equation?
What if AI ethics isn’t about AI, but about how humanity chooses to shape it?
Most discussions treat AI as an external agent, something that needs to be regulated, controlled, and restricted. But instead of asking, “Is AI a risk or an ally?”, what if we asked:
How prepared are we to use it ethically, strategically, and consciously?
Recently, I co-created an Ethics Manual for Human-Technology Fusion in direct collaboration with an OpenAI model. During this process, I realized something critical:
AI will only be as ethical as human choices allow it to be.
Resistance to technology isn’t rational, it’s emotional – and unless we shift human mindset, no regulation will be enough.
AI ethics must go beyond theoretical guidelines – it must be applied, tested, and lived in practice.
I’d love to hear other perspectives:
How do you see this issue? Is resistance to
AI a technical or cultural problem?
Should companies focus more on developing the organizational mindset to absorb AI responsibly?
After all, AI doesn’t choose to be ethical or unethical – we choose that for it.
