Purpose-Driven and Human-Centered AI: A Holistic Approach to Aligning Personal and Shared Purposes Towards Sustainable AI

Hubert Rampersad, Ph.D.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) and artificial general intelligence (AGI) are currently transforming the world. They profoundly impact people’s lives and solve society’s most critical challenges. However, the pace of these developments is slowed by some issues, such as data access, algorithmic bias, AI ethics and transparency, and AI legal liability. AI systems sometimes draw wrong conclusions from data, confuse fact and fiction, and present a half-baked mixture as the truth. Due to these shortcomings, we don’t maximize AI benefits. Due to the power of AI and added value for humanity, this must be worked on by not only improving the algorithms and datasets but mainly working on embedding the human-centered AI governance concept that I recently proposed, building an ethical learning culture in the organization, and making AI and AGI purpose-driven and human-centered and thus transform society for the better.

On the other hand, AI and AGI are transforming industries, enhancing efficiency and productivity, and pushing the possible limits. As a result, the job market is evolving, and while some jobs will become automated, new opportunities will arise. The future of work will involve humans collaborating with AI to accomplish tasks more ethically, efficiently, and productively. Therefore, organizations must reskill and upskill their workforce to ensure individuals possess the necessary abilities to thrive in this AI-driven future. This article introduces a purpose-driven and human-centered model for sustainable AI/AGI development. This is essential in developing authenticity, integrity, empathy, and critical thinking skills to keep up with AI and adapt to unpredictable circumstances. This will future-proof our careers and allow us to thrive.

AI solutions must be purpose-driven, human-centered, and in line with personal and shared purposes so that the focus is on serving humanity, improving our society, and creating a better and just future. To this end, organizations must ensure that a culture of ethical people is central to AI/AGI and that their AI initiatives align with personal and shared purposes and contribute to the improvement of society. Sam Altman’s leadership shift at OpenAI emphasized the importance of transparency and prompted a reevaluation of ethical considerations in AI development and organizational decision-making. The incident raised questions about transparency, accountability, and the urgent need for robust, purpose-driven & human-centered ethical frameworks to sustainably guide the development and deployment of AI technologies.

In this article, I introduce a holistic approach to aligning personal and shared purposes toward sustainable AI/AGI so that it is developed and used responsibly to transform society for the better. This is based on my latest book, “Eco-Design Thinking for Personal, Corporate, and Social Innovation.” The model will aid the development of purpose-driven and human-centered AI/AGI by aligning personal and shared purposes, as shown in this diagram. It shows how personal purpose, shared purpose, and aligning both purposes are interconnected. Personal purpose is linked to ethical and emotionally intelligent individuals with a sense of direction; shared purpose is connected to the organization’s soul, common mission, vision, and core values, and aligning both purposes is linked to happy, engaged, committed, passionate, and integer employees.
