Otherwise, users are held accountable while unable to opt out, give informed consent given the opacity of your tools features and flaws, or appraise and override their outputs.

Only these tools people can use carefully, and be held responsible for what they deliberately do with them.

When not, the solution is to keep tinkering. It ain’t to release prematurely, protected by transferring responsibility to tool’s users.

Yes, people need to use tools responsibly, but tools that are understandable, legible, truthful, designed to extend and enable human expression, effort, and values, firmly under human comprehension + control.

Clinicians, patients, teachers, students, families, communities. We are not the unpaid, unprogrammed, cost-saving, minimal-viable-product enabling bit. We are not your moral crumple zones, your accountability sinks, your scapegoats.

This is critical in healthcare where care is way more important than efficiency, productivity, speed, or convenience. (3/7)

Developers must steer, design, and implement tools to enable personal + community flourishing, keep people safe, and support work + play, not the other way around.

If you won’t, then you are NOT ready to implement. You are NOT to be trusted with their governance. (2/7)
