"This talk connects software freedom to a framework I've been developing
at Oxford with Caroline Green called the 6-Pack of Care
<https://6pack.care>: Six design principles that translate care ethics
into something institutions can build and inspect. The unit of
deployment is the Kami: a bounded local steward, not a universal
governor. No central model owns it. Communities govern it, contest it,
and shut it down when its work is done." - Audrey
Oliver.

local stewardship and self-governance* — and how she and Caroline
Green are putting this theory into practice, with principles for AI
systems at the local Institute for Ethics in AI.
