Mindful AI is the medium for regulating the human-machine relation for not only present time but also future period. Mindful AI also means that the humanity is alive for a wider discussion for also societal aspects of the AI. The AI should be mindful and Mindful AI is the platform to regulate our synergy for that.

Because synergy of the Mindful AI should be compatible for the differences in different regions of the world. The idea of regulating the AI is already important and the Mindful AI is for that but the movement needs input by regional differences, point organizations (by ambassadors) so I have accepted to become an ambassador of the community.
