In this clip from the Beauty at Work podcast, AI ethics expert John C. Havens argues that all use of generative AI is irresponsible: not because of the outputs themselves, but because users have no true agency over the data that fuels these systems.

He explains how:
GenAI is built on massive datasets taken without meaningful consent
People lose track of what they created versus what an algorithm stitched together
The seductive ease of these tools erodes our sense of authorship and originality
And why not knowing “where it came from” harms human creativity at its core
This is a powerful critique of the hidden costs behind the convenience of AI tools.
