Amy McGovern @profamymcgovern.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I completely reworked my ethical and responsible AI this semester to realize that it is here to stay and we need to focus on how to use it correctly and not lose our humanity in the process. It is a tool. Use it correctly. A lot of people see it as a hammer and think everything is a nail now! 040

Amy McGovern @profamymcgovern.bsky.social · 25/11/2025From what I see, AMS isn't in this greedy cycle.
