Why Ethics? Beyond Rules, Towards Intrinsic Alignment
We stand at a unique inflection point in the digital age.
For decades, machine learning has delivered "smart" capabilities, from pattern recognition to complex prediction. 
But as AI evolves, we're moving rapidly from simply "smart" to systems that exhibit emergent behaviors, nuanced decision-making, and even forms of "understanding." 
This leap brings with it an urgent question:
 How do we ensure these increasingly autonomous systems operate not just effectively, but ethically?
