Here's my survey feedback.



   1.

   Why did you join this group?
   What drew you to this community, and what interests you most about
   human-centric AI?

*I established the community.  I had been involved in other communities
where I defined a deployment modality that I defined as ‘human centric’
(using AI / semweb tooling now globally commercialised) as is shown on the
lists[1].  Overall, the main goals are centered upon the protection of
human rights and ensuring means whereby people are able to own their own
‘thoughtware’ and means to live in a manner consistent with the ideals
stated in human rights instruments (aka “god given rights”) without 3rd
party commercial claims or IPR rights due to technology (ie: software,
structures, etc.) ownership related ‘rights’ that may otherwise exist if
produced in a proprietary fashion. *

   2.

   What do you hope to get out of this group?
   Are there specific goals or outcomes you're aiming for, whether they're
   personal, professional, or broader in nature?

*There were two elements that led to the effort to establish the group.  *

   1.



*The term ‘human centric’ as a characterisation for the future of AI had
   grown to be used by many international quorum. Yet, within these quorum,
   there appeared to be a lack of comprehension about the intended meaning,
   and in-turn also a lack of ‘parts’ to realise those outcomes in connection
   with the use of the term ‘human centric’ in nomenclature as to achieve
   intended goals. *
   2.

   *The hope was that the W3C Group would act in its capacities, within the
   broader internet governance framework as a W3C Activity stream to address
   those apparent shortfalls. *



   3.

   What do you hope to contribute?
   Do you have any particular skills, experiences, or perspectives you're
   excited to share? What role do you see yourself playing within the group?

   *I believe I failed and/or am defeated.  I am making effort to ‘pass the
   baton’.*

   4.

   What would you like to see the group do?
   Are there specific projects, discussions, or initiatives you believe we
   should prioritize?

*They’ve been noted on the list on a best efforts basis[2], in an effort to
at least provide a priority date for considered constituencies should
proprietary alternative efforts emerge as to seek to achieve the same goals
without W3C Patent-Pool Licensing and related IPR frameworks.  It must also
be considered that ‘free workers’ without resources are materially limited.*
