Navigating the transitions to the future of AI ― Integrity over Intelligence
Envision a world where artificial intelligence can deliver integrity-led outcomes seamlessly, adapting to diverse cultural context, value models, and situational nuances, countering subconscious biases, all while operating in an advanced human-centered manner. This is the promise of Artificial Integrity.
Introducing the transformative concept of “artificial integrity,” Mann proposes a paradigm shift, defining a “code of design” to ensure AI systems align with, amplify, and sustain human values and societal norms, maximizing integrity-led AI outcomes.
Artificial Integrity discusses practical insights into driving a future where AI enhances, without replacing, human capabilities while being inclusive and reflective of diverse human experiences, emphasizing human agency.
The book offers guiding posts and step-by-step solutions for designing, implementing and continuously aligning AI development to responsibly advance human and artificial co-intelligence
Artificial Integrity is essential for anyone involved in AI development, from executives, business leaders, and managers to entrepreneurs, tech enthusiasts and policymakers. It's also perfect for laypeople interested in how AI intersects with society.
Dive into this compelling and thought provoking read to ensure you are prepared for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in a human-centered AI-driven future.
“The world is racing headlong into a very near future radically transformed by Artificial Intelligence. This technology offers enormous opportunities for advances in medicine, science, innovation, and efficiency, but potentially threatens jobs, personal autonomy, and national security. In this important and timely book, Hamilton Mann proposes the radical new concept of Artificial Integrity—the purposeful alignment of Artificial Intelligence with human moral codes and social norms—and argues it should be baked into the code at the very heart of this new technology. Mann provides practical strategies for business leaders, managers, and policymakers to lead through this technological revolution. I urge everyone who cares about our collec- tive future as humans to read this book.”

“Artificial Integrity is more than a book; it’s the dawn of a new interdiscipli- nary field of science for the future. Bridging computational science, sociol- ogy, economics, and sustainability, it urges leaders, technologists, academics, policymakers and innovators to envision a world where AI elevates humanity. Hamilton Mann’s concept of Artificial Integrity is a call to action with sharp guidelines and well-articulated framework for executing what AI can and should be.”

“The thing about integrity is that it’s innately human.And as JohnWooden famously said,‘your character is what you really are.’In an era of generative, predictive, and general AI, humanity is by default automated. But with in- tegrity, AI becomes more human and ultimately, augmented. Al integrity becomes a superpower.That’s what Hamilton Mann is here to show us.”
— BRIAN SOLIS, Futurist, best-selling author of Mindshift, Transform Leadership, Drive Innovation, and Shape the Future
“Yes, with a cool technology like AI, the temptation to focus entirely on the tech is strong. But technology itself is agnostic; humans have considerable choice.As AI technologies become pervasive, what better time than now for Hamilton Mann to focus us on the paramount role of human agency? Smarter machines won’t be enough—humans need to guide savvier machines from myopic optimization of narrow objectives to the complex, multi-criteria domain of complex decision-making.”

“This unique and impactful book is a call for humans to take up their re- sponsibility to ensure that together with AI technology they work to en- hance human wellbeing through creative, inclusive, and innovative interaction. Hamilton Mann specifically redefines human centric AI in this engaging book to have a focus on the integrity of AI systems in decision-making. The significance of the book lies in its not only demonstrating that technology is not neutral, but also unpacking how humans can and should interact with AI technology to build a shared value system that will benefit all of humanity.”

“In Artificial Integrity Hamilton Mann extends his groundbreaking ideas around “Digital for Good” to Artificial Intelligence. Clearly, we are at interesting crossroads as a society where the extensive opportunities from AI need to be weighed against the disruptions it can potentially create. Mann masterfully lays out how adapting AI to diverse cultural contexts, value models, and situational nuances can counter biases and lead us toward a more human-centered AI. Mann continues to make valuable contributions on how technology and society work together to create better outcomes for all.”

“Finally, we have a thoughtful, practical book on ensuring AI is used in a responsible “high integrity” way. Hamilton Mann, who is always so great about keeping our eye on the bigger picture, not only lays out the challenges ahead (including many that haven’t gotten adequate coverage), but he also lays out a realistic path toward shaping the AI-future that we would want to have. A great contribution!”

“AI has immense power to do good, to contribute positively to individuals, organizations, and society. It also has a dark side. With Artificial Integrity, Hamilton Mann provides a roadmap to create and deliver AI that is responsible, ethical, and sustainable.”

“As someone wary of AI hype, I found Hamilton Mann’s “Artificial Integrity” refreshingly practical. Unlike works focused on AGI or broad ethical principles, Mann provides concrete strategies for embedding integrity into current AI systems. Drawing on global perspectives and bridging academia and business, he offers invaluable insights on ‘artificial integrity,’ emphasizing context-specific application and alignment with local norms. Mann’s focus on augmenting human capabilities rather than replacing them is genuinely refreshing, showing how AI can enhance our lives by working alongside us. This essential read for technologists, business leaders, and policymakers offers a forward-thinking perspective on ethical AI implementation, will significantly influence responsible AI development and deployment.”
— ANAND S. RAO, PhD. Distinguished Service Professor of Applied Data Science and AI, Carnegie Mellon University
Mann’s insights are both incisive and practical, guiding us through the intricacies of creating AI that enhances rather than replaces human capabilities, a philosophy I am very passionate about. This book is a must-read!”

“Artificial Integrity offers both a thought-provoking and guiding approach to the complex relationship between artificial intelligence and our human value models in a society where advanced co-intelligence between humans and machines will increasingly coexist. This insightful concept and framework of ‘artificial integrity’ coined by Hamilton Mann represents a paradigm shift and an essential playbook for leaders wishing to steer AI development towards a human-centered future. Read this book to understand, but more importantly, to act for the development of AI designed not simply to produce more artificial intelligence, but to uphold more integrity.”

“In Artificial Integrity, Hamilton Mann has provided the seminal revelation that user trustworthiness of any Artificial Intelligence system does not equate to the accountable integrity of its designers. Lack of genuine consent for user data, anthropomorphism by design, and the harmful extraction of water and energy for data centers powering GenAI demand the integrity by design Mann elucidates that is anything but artificial. A really compelling and unique work in the space.”
