AI & Human Behavior: Why We Need More Ethical Tech

AI is everywhere—but does it work for everyone? For Dr. Renee Gosline, becoming a mom meant relying on technology, AI, and algorithms more than ever. From facial recognition to decision-making tools, AI became a constant presence. But as she dug deeper, she saw a critical issue: AI doesn’t always account for the people who need it most. Now, as a researcher in human-AI interaction, she’s exploring how we can create ethical, inclusive technology that truly serves everyone.
