AI Lab · by Sophie Gagnon · 2026-10-01

The thing nobody told me about ethics in Nairobi

Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make AI Lab feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where ethics stopped feeling new.

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 2 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

I am skeptical. The idea sounds good, but the maintenance cost is real. A small test case would make this easier to trust.
