Chapter Chapter 9 in The Bridgerton Paradox in Artificial Intelligence, 2025, pp 87-94 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Concluding the book, this chapter revisits the Bridgerton Paradox as a symbolic guide for AI’s broader role in shaping collective memory. AI is conceptualized as a new “memory machine,” storing and interpreting histories at an unprecedented scale. The chapter argues that reconciling authenticity with inclusivity is a perpetual negotiation, requiring cross-disciplinary collaboration, policy innovation, and ethical reflexivity. By embracing layered interpretations, community governance, and continual adaptation, AI can serve as a dynamic steward of cultural memory—one that neither whitewashes the past nor perpetuates its biases uncritically.
