AI-Ethical ‘Stance’ Statement
As a scholar and researcher, I am committed to ethics and transparency in my work. All academic-related writings are rigorously cited and will not appear on this site, while fully original pieces are shared on my Substack. On this blog, I use AI tools to support clarity, structure, and flow, helping translate my detailed, dense writing style into accessible posts for wider audiences. All ideas originate from my own research and writing, with AI serving as a supportive tool. As an Autistic researcher, this helps me to make complex topics more engaging. I also use midjourney to produce artwork for the site, along with use of open-source images.
I explore AI, post-humanism, and cyborg futures in my academic work, reflecting critically on its potential and ethical implications. This is my ‘stance’ today, the ground on which my feet are held. This could change tomorrow. Life is dynamic, and so is technological ‘innovation.’ If you wish, you are welcome to write me to share perspectives, or to ask for references and guidance.
