How to design AI for people and planet: A new framework

View profile for Martin Reeves

Business strategist, advisor, author and speaker.

The social and economic impact of AI is not determined by the #technology alone. It depends how how we, the real agents, design and deploy it. In this paper with Jacob Taylor of The Brookings Institution, Alex 'Sandy' Pentland of Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) and Thomas Kehler of CrowdSmart.ai, we propose three principles guide further development to ensure that #AI works for people and planet:  1) frame AI as a social technology, 2) design AI that is loyal to human agency, and 3) coordinate around big-bet applications https://lnkd.in/e3J-57KF

This is a powerful framing—thank you for elevating the discussion beyond algorithms and infrastructure. The reminder that AI is a social technology is critical. As Amartya Sen once argued about development, progress is measured not just in technical capability but in the expansion of human agency. The three principles you outline resonate deeply: loyalty to human decision-making, collective coordination, and design for societal value. In portfolio and transformation work, I see the same truth—technology only delivers when it strengthens alignment, foresight, and the human capacity to act with clarity. Curious—how do you see governance mechanisms evolving to ensure “big-bet applications” don’t drift away from human-centered accountability? #AI #Governance #HumanCenteredInnovation
