I became an AI Ethicist by saying "yes" to an invitation at Google in NYC. I had absolutely no tech background... but found myself seated at a table with some of the world's top technology leaders. I asked what they did...then I asked a bunch of questions and suddenly was asked if I would join a working group with the largest professional engineering organization in the world. The group was setting the recommended standards for the design of AI related to human well-being. I am a contributing author to those standards and now am a Co-Chair of their AI Ethics Education committee as well as Chair of other committees with the organization. As a result, this year I was invited to speak at Stanford and will be speaking in January in Davos at the the World Economic Forum.
I got to where I am by being curious, being creative, and always asking questions. I get bored easily and have always looked to learn something new. Because of that, have worked in more than a dozen professions, diving in head first...learning whatever I needed to become skilled as a practitioner.
What does it take to motivate people to take action for climate repair? Identifying the universal underlying causes and barriers is the first step. Building a tangible foundation for engagement and transformation are the next.

My Talk: Recording of Day 2 goes from (Minutes) 2:13:51 — 2:25:42
Achieving a sustainable, net-zero-emissions future will require the acceleration of technology development and deployment. Measurable and meaningful ESG (environmental, social, and governance) metrics, together with other private and public-sector initiatives and policies, will help advance technology for sustainability.
Hosted by IEEE in partnership with the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence and the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment, this explored regulatory, policy, and financial frameworks critical to advancing technology which prioritizes people, planet, and purpose-driven progress. Keynotes and panels were followed by workshop writing sessions, led by the Planet Positive 2030 Community.
Increased reliance on technology has many people questioning the effects of Artificial Intelligence. In this clear, intelligent, and engaging talk, Marisa Zalabak provides a hopeful vision of technology for social good that demystifies misconceptions and relieves fears about how our lives are being transformed. A masterful human behavior specialist and down-to-earth mother, Marisa invites us to consider the human skills that are key to adapting and thriving now and in the future.
Marisa Zalabak believes that instead of surrendering our humanity to artificial intelligence, we can find nurturing ways to adapt and thrive together. As an educational psychologist, social-emotional intelligence expert, creative learning specialist, and performing artist, Marisa believes people are still our greatest resource. She works as a leadership coach developing understanding of people systems and providing workshops in organizational culture and workplace wellness. Marisa’s fascination with the unique role of humanity and our relationship to artificial intelligence is also informed by her experience as a mother, searching for the best of what lies ahead of us all as humans.
Imagine if all society had opportunities to develop the skills we need to flourish regardless of where we are, who we are with, how technology evolves, and what unexpected situations occur in our world.
