AI systems reflect human values, but not always the best ones.
🤖🪞Shannon Vallor calls it “mirroring”: these tools inherit our flaws. That reflection includes bias, inequity, and everything we fail to fix in society. Liberal arts can challenge that mirror.

Context matters. Values matter. And AI mirrors whoever’s holding the mirror.
