Holding the Line @ Backchannels
I’m joining 4S Backchannels—the Society for Social Studies of Science blog for shorter, timelier, media-rich STS scholarship—and my first piece is live: “Holding the Line: Values Drift, AI Anomia, and the Craft of Accountable Leadership.” 👇
What does Values-Drift really mean?
Reflection isn’t a retreat from action. It’s how responsible systems stay calibrated, and it’s a behavior we urgently need to scale. If we don’t, the cost of drift won’t just be ethical. It will be reputational, operational, and strategic (organizational, nationally, and globally). Drift doesn’t just corrode purpose. It destabilizes institutions—and nations.
