Why this page exists
Joanne Flinn works at the intersection of human readiness and technological change. She uses AI tools in her work and believes in being transparent about how. She also believes that original thinking deserves protection and that technology should serve human judgment, not replace it.
How AI is used in this work
Joanne uses AI tools as part of her research, writing, and content development. This includes research synthesis, drafting and iteration, data analysis supporting ClearSight™ (operated by the ESG Institute), and content formatting.
In all cases, the intellectual direction, editorial judgment, and final decisions are Joanne's. AI assists the process. It does not replace the thinking.
This is consistent with the principle at the heart of her published work: humans are always accountable for AI decisions.
