Impromptu: Amplifying Our Humanity Through AI - Providing inmates with access to educational materials such as e-books, videos, and podcasts, which could help improve their literacy levels. - Introducing virtual mentors, who could help inmates develop better social skills, build meaningful relation- ships, and create career pathways for themselves. - Connecting inmates with online communities of others who have been through similar experiences. This could reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation, as well as provide encouragement and support. And, if the main concern of prison connectivity is the supervi- sory burden of overseeing interactions between inmates and the outside world, GPT-4 could reduce or even eliminate that need. I’m a proud supporter of Ameelio, a not-for-profit company that democratizes prison communication and education tech- nology by providing free letters and phone calls for incarcer- ated individuals as well as providing the technology to bring updated, high-quality education materials into prisons and jails. They believe, and I agree, that by providing incarcerated people with support networks and vital resources, we can cut recidivism and sustainably reduce prison populations. It is impossible not to be excited about how GPT-4 could be used to help an organization like Ameelio reach more people who are currently incarcerated in a more cost-effective, impact- ful way. With 95 percent of those who are currently incarcer- ated slated to re-enter society, it is not only our moral obliga- tion to think about how we can help these individuals, but will also be of massive benefit to our society at large. 74
