The Deacs.AI Retrospective Part III: The Guardrails - Ethics, Security, and Bias

Join Ryan Scholl and Michael Ferrari for the final installment of our "Best of 2025" series on the Deacs.AI podcast. In this episode, titled "The Soul and the Mission," Wake Forest innovators explore the vital importance of preserving the human spirit in the age of Artificial Intelligence. We discuss building ethical guardrails by looking at historical parallels—from Platos early fears about the invention of writing to the "Manhattan Project" of modern AI. The conversation delves into the future of creativity, the legal complexities of copyright in neural networks, and the essential need for authentic social connection over automated simulations. Finally, we reflect on how a liberal arts education and the Pro Humanitate motto prepare us for a future where technology serves as a springboard for human flourishing rather than a replacement for it.
