A few days later, the conversation expanded to a broader ethical framework. Philosopher Bini Adamczak philosophers and economist Grace Blakeley economists urged a disarmament‑oriented stance, recommending that municipalities resist integrating AI into core public services and push for reparable, transparent, and sustainable systems.
