Next Steps: Executive Director of The Algorithmic Justice League. I am open to joint appointments that enable me to continue the work and tap into stimulating opportunities to advance the fight for algorithmic justice. Please let me know if you have any suggestions...

How many more people will have to die before there is true accountability and redress for harmful AI systems? Sacrificing children in the name of innovation under the auspices of curbing loneliness is unacceptable. The lure of using AI companions to fill human voids will lead to more deaths. Sadly Sewell’s tragic death is not the first AI chatbot implicated suicide. (See Chai AI chatbot and Death of Belgium man.) I fear the body count will grow if action stops at sending condolences.
