Rethinking Artificial Intelligence as an Instrument for Human Flourishing

From the Editors

The Human Flourishing Program at Harvard introduces an initiative examining the relationship between artificial intelligence and human well-being. The project challenges the prevailing assumption that digital tools act as autonomous forces driving society, asserting instead that technology must remain anchored in human values and agency. Readers interested in thoughtful approaches to modern technology that support rather than replace human experience will find this framework valuable.
