As she spoke of building a Boston that is \u201cconnected, compassionate, and prepared for the future,\u201d I found myself reflecting on which of those fronts needs the most immediate attention: the ethical foundation for our digital future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Artificial intelligence isn\u2019t coming to reshape our economy and our city. It\u2019s already here. And right now, we\u2019re deploying it faster than we\u2019re understanding it.<\/p>\n<p>Boston has always been a city of firsts \u2014 the telephone, the first public school, the T, the first successful organ transplant. But this moment feels different. The speed is different. The stakes are different. And whether we lead or follow will be determined in the next 18 months, not the next decade.<\/p>\n<h3><b>What I am seeing on the ground<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Last fall, The Hope Group partnered with the City of Boston\u2019s Office of Economic Opportunity and Inclusion to launch AI literacy training for local entrepreneurs. I walked into that first session expecting questions about efficiency and automation.<\/p>\n<p>What I encountered was something more valuable: productive anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>Business owners were asking the right questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Could this scheduling system accidentally deprioritize customers from certain zip codes?<\/li>\n<li>Will this chatbot recognize Cape Verdean Portuguese or Haitian Creole?<\/li>\n<li>Might this pricing algorithm unintentionally recreate redlining patterns?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These concerns proved prescient. In our classes, one Dorchester restaurant owner discovered her reservation platform was flagging \u201cno-show risk\u201d based partly on neighborhood data. A retail entrepreneur learned her AI analytics tool lacked context for the cultural spending patterns of her actual customers. Both redesigned their systems before launch.<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s what keeps me up at night: How many businesses didn\u2019t catch these issues in time?<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t just an inclusion problem. It\u2019s a precision problem. It\u2019s a profitability problem.<\/p>\n<p>When your AI system overlooks qualified talent from Roxbury or misreads engagement patterns in Mattapan, you\u2019re not just risking reputational harm \u2014 you\u2019re losing insight, market share, and trust. Often invisibly, until the damage is done. The costs compound quickly: failed hires, alienated customers, regulatory scrutiny, and competitive disadvantage.<\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"3\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">We Have a Real Advantage<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:281,&quot;335559739&quot;:281}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">On an AI panel at the Boston Globe Summit this past November, I shared a sentiment that struck a chord with many:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The soul of a city isn\u2019t found in its servers \u2014 it\u2019s found in how we use them to serve.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This isn\u2019t just a memorable line.

Gain the skills to assess, question, and deploy AI tools that reflect your values and serve your customers with dignity. This isn\u2019t about slowing down \u2014 it\u2019s about accelerating in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Corporate leaders:<\/strong> Many of you are already asking: how do we audit systems we adopted quickly? Focused system assessments take 4-6 weeks and can prevent years of costly correction. Over 30 Boston businesses have already begun this work. Early assessment prevents the expensive remediation that comes after problems surface publicly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For all Chamber members<\/strong> \u2014 I\u2019m proposing a pilot: Working with a cohort of Chamber member businesses to conduct rapid AI ethics assessments. Not lengthy engagements, but focused, practical audits that answer the questions you need answered: Are your systems fair? Are they precise? Are they serving the Boston you claim to serve?<\/p>\n<p>We would document what we learn, share the framework, and create a model other cities can follow. The goal is to establish Boston as the city that figured out how to do AI implementation right \u2014 not just fast, but right.<\/p>\n<p>Because the companies that lead on AI ethics today will define the market tomorrow. Early movers gain three critical advantages: brand trust that actually means something, talent that chooses to stay, and protection as regulatory frameworks inevitably tighten. The EU AI Act is already setting international precedent. Federal compliance is coming.<\/p>\n<p>Boston has always been the city that does innovation right. This is our moment to prove it again \u2014 not in five years, but now.<\/p>\n  \r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n<style>\r\n    .btn:hover:after {\r\n        transform: scaleX(1.05);\r\n    }\r\n<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"people-spotlight text-person color_theme\" id=\"ra_id_1763756334\">\r\n    <div class=\"container\">\r\n        <div class=\"row\">           \r\n            \t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-lg-9\">\r\n                <div class=\"\">\r\n                                            <h3 tabindex=\"0\">Meet the Author<\/h3>\r\n                                            <div tabindex=\"0\" class = \"text_description\">Rev.
