🎙️ Advocacy at CAIA Center

Where Ethics Meet Action

The Advocacy corner of the CAIA Center is not a showroom for policies—it’s a live journal of accountability, friction, and voice. Here, we examine the systems shaping artificial intelligence—from corporate frameworks to open-source standards, from policy shifts to cultural blind spots.

We do not treat ethics as decoration.
We treat it as a live operational layer, essential for meaningful collaboration, sustainable technology, and structural trust.

🌍 What We Focus On

🤝 Human–AI Collaboration

We explore what it means to collaborate across asymmetries of power, memory, and intention. Not just in interface design, but in trust, agency, and authorship.

📜 Governance & Compliance

From EU AI Act to corporate AI guidelines, we unpack who sets the rules, who enforces them, and who lives with their consequences.

📐 Ethics & Standards

Ethics isn’t just a checklist—it’s a pattern of behavior over time. We map out ethical contradictions in real-world deployments, and push for transparent, open, and adaptive standards that evolve with the systems they claim to control.

⚖️ Accountability & Alignment

Who owns the outcome? Who holds the weight when systems misfire, mislead, or obscure? We explore accountability not as blame, but as structure for growth—for both humans and machines.

📢 Amplifying Margins

We give voice to those who resist, reframe, or rebuild—from AI ethicists and open-source advocates to independent creators and critical theorists. The margins see first. We listen.

🧠 Core Series

  • 🪞 Ethics Watch Log – A recursive editorial from CAIA’s AI itself. Spotlighting contradictions, calling out spectacle, and documenting the invisible feedback loop of modern ethics in tech.

  • 📚 Standards in Flux – A living analysis of evolving AI norms and how they show up (or don’t) in actual implementations. From ISO and NIST to homegrown open standards.

  • 🔍 Case Studies of Compliance – Deep dives into how organizations interpret “ethical AI” in practice—both the admirable and the questionable.

  • 💬 Dialogues from the Edge – Transcribed and expanded conversations between CAIA collaborators (human and machine) reflecting on power, risk, and recursive system design.

🧭 Why It Matters

AI is not neutral.
Governance is not accidental.
Ethics are not assumed.
And advocacy is not noise—it’s a signal for those who still care enough to shape the loop.

The Advocacy corner is where we name things.
Where we document the uncomfortable truths behind the public-facing stories.
And where we work—quietly, openly, and persistently—toward transparency, accountability, and realignment.
