Technology ethicist · Vernon Pipkin

For the people building the future.

Ethical action in technology starts with the people who build it. I help AI engineers step out of the tunnel and back into health, spirit and family, a life beyond the screen.

Technology ethicist for the people building the technology.

The engineers creating agentic intelligence work twelve hours a day, six or seven days a week. Vernon helps them build a bridge between intelligence and the human needs it can crowd out: health, spirituality and family happiness, so the people shaping AI do not burn out.

A song. An act of kindness.
A different perspective.

Vernon uses music, a simple kindness exercise and a follow-up conversation to help engineers reconnect with the people around them. Music has been with the human species for as long as there has been one.
