Author & framework authority
Dr. A.C. Ping, PhD
Managing Director, Ethics Advisory Services
Visiting Research Fellow in Philosophy at the University of Adelaide and a Colin Brain Governance Fellow; formerly Adjunct Professor at QUT’s Graduate School of Business. A Fulbright Scholar with more than 25 years in ethics and governance, he has written eight books and advises corporations and governments across four continents.
His doctoral research in applied ethics asked why good people do bad things — and produced a causal-factor model of the behavioural and contextual cues that lead good people to unethical outcomes. That work, and his Moral Intention Theory, now turn to the defining ethical question of this moment: why good AI does bad things.
Dr. Ping is the author of the Moral Intention Analyst and the final authority on its interpretation, refinement, and version approval. MIA carries his method faithfully — it does not extend or override it.
