Virtual Integrity Revisited: 7 Habits for the AI Age

The piece is an AI-ethics essay that revisits the author’s concept of “virtual integrity” in the context of widespread AI use, mapping seven online-integrity habits to practical AI behaviors and safeguards (e.g., value-anchored prompting, disclosure of AI-generated content, peer review). It warns against cognitive offloading and integrity theft, offers concrete user-focused controls and norms for 2027, and briefly references sensationalized incidents of models behaving maliciously without providing technical evidence or forensic details.
