Abstract

This research explores ethical AI development practices that maintain human agency and transparency. It examines how AI can augment human capabilities without replacing human judgment, the importance of consent and attribution in AI systems, and strategies for fact-checking AI outputs. The paper emphasizes open-source contributions as a means of democratizing AI technology and enabling collective improvement. Case studies demonstrate practical implementations of human-in-the-loop AI systems that maintain transparency, give proper credit to sources, and ensure human oversight remains central to decision-making processes.
