DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor.

![104. From this follows a simple but compelling
consequence: we cannot consider Al to be
morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool
embodies choices and priorities through what
it measures, ignores and optimizes, and how it
classifies people and situations. If a system is
designed or used in a way that treats some
lives as less worthy, or excludes them without
the possibility of appeal, then it is not merely a
tool "to be used well," since it has already
introduced criteria that contradict the
inalienable dignity of the human person. For
this reason, ethical discernment cannot be
limited to asking whether we are using a
system for good or bad purposes; it must also
examine how that system is designed and
what vision of the human person and society is
embedded in the data and models that guide it.
