What are social constructs and how do they apply to AI?

Social constructs are human made. They do not exist in nature. While we can simply add AI to the mess of current social constructs, we do have an opportunity to forge a better tomorrow. AI has the power to reinforce our existing biases and bad habits, or help us rid society of them.

So, why discuss social constructs with AI? Because applying old frameworks uncritically can amplify biases or create new problems. But social constructs are not set in stone. We made them, so we can change them. This means we have a unique chance to define AI’s role in society. Should it be a tool, a partner, or something entirely new? The relationship is ours to shape. We get to decide how to build our future with AI, we must evolve our social constructs to ensure they serve us all.
