Most developers don’t set out to harm, but today’s AI systems can amplify bias, misrepresent data, or automate decisions without accountability. The solution isn’t just regulation; it’s responsibility by design.

In this inspiring yet practical talk, TEDxBoston speaker and AI engineer Disleve Kanku explores how developers can align code with conscience. Drawing lessons from his work at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Disleve introduces a new framework for ethical AI development that moves beyond compliance, focusing on context, community, and care.

He’ll share examples of how AI can serve as a healing force: from trust layers that ensure transparency to civic applications that restore public confidence in automation. Developers will walk away with a blueprint for integrating ethical reflection into every sprint without slowing down innovation.
