Acknowledgements

The Regenerative AI Ethics Framework emerged from a collaboration of luminary minds and hearts: conceived and led by Caroline Chubb Calderon and brought to Life through the contributions of co-steward Jessica Groopman and co-authors Martina Doleshal and Ali Kazemi. We would also like to recognize Rose Kudlac and Sharon Nielson for their early participation and support during the formative stages of this project. Special thanks also to Christine Symons, who served as the producer for this initiative, helping to organize and uplift the collective efforts.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the broader circle of contributors who enriched this work with their generous insights and energy, including Diane Alarcon, Kristina Altukhova, Tracey Rogers Brandt, Inga Clausen, Barnabe Colin, Jude Currivan, Tracy DeLuca, Cassie Decker, Josefina Diaz, Yasmin Datta, Ekaterina Egorova, Dan Feldman, John Havens, Ayusha Gautam, Elias Kruger, Vincent Lassalle, Susan Liautaud, Brian Melville, Sanjay Rajan, Camilla Rees, Monica Richter, Karen Rivoire, Samantha Powers, Thorsten Perl, Jeffrey Quintero, Stacey Schultz, Indy Rishi Singh, Dr. Anneloes Smitsman, Megan Stachura, Matthew Stevens, Grant Storry, and Constance de Wavrin. 

We acknowledge the assistance of Claude 3.7 Sonnet (Anthropic, 2025) and ChatGPT (OpenAI, 2025) in literature review and text refinement. All content was critically reviewed, synthesized, and finalized by the human authors, who retain full intellectual responsibility for this work.

The authors offer heartfelt gratitude to the family, friends, and colleagues who supported us in bringing this work to Life, even if their names don’t appear here. We recognize our profound interconnectedness with them and with the more-than-human world that surrounded and inspired us throughout this journey.

Countless books, research, articles, podcasts, ancient and indigenous texts, and pieces of music shaped our thinking along the way, and we are deeply thankful for their influence. A special thanks to John Fullerton, whose work in Regenerative Economics has profoundly influenced our thinking, providing the foundational principles that guided the ethical and systemic framework behind this project.
