About HiirAI

HiirAI was created by Joahna Kuiper to respond to a "gap" identified during some post-grad research about how AI technologies were being deployed by businesses, governments, and other entities. The question of how traditional technology-project frameworks and methodologies struggle to apply ethical thinking that encompasses intended and unintended consequences - and if current IT methods are fit-for-purpose. Many governance frameworks are emerging, but what do people really need to know in order to make use of them?

The hypothesis, and therefore HiirAI's foundational belief, is that AI technologies require a different kind of thinking and approach than non-deterministic technologies with which IT professionals and teams are historically used to working. Beginning at concept and across every stage of the lifecycle - proposal, analysis, design, development, implementation, operational ownership, and everything in between - new skills and considerations to mitigate and manage AI are needed.
