An interactive version of the critical AI engagement framework

Below is an interactive version of the Critical AI Engagement Framework 1.4 that was updated earlier in spring 2026. You can tap each card to reveal its description and switch the framework to light or dark mode.

Interactive model built from Hosseini, D. (2026) Critical AI Engagement Framework v1.4 — grounded in Mohamed et al. (2020) algorithmic coloniality, Benjamin (2019) socio‑technical artefacts, Noble (2018), Zembylas (2023), Quijano (2000), Camacho Felix (2025), and — for the epistemic accountability dimension — Ahmed (2017), Fricker (2007), and Tuck & Yang (2012). Positions are structurally produced, not freely chosen, and movement across the grid is non‑linear.

September 2026 update: I have now added a tab that relates to the work of allied health professionals; this tab is a work in progress.

A map of positions, not a ladder

Two axes — epistemic posture and structural consciousness — produce twelve positions researchers, educators, students, and clinicians occupy differently across tasks, phases, and relationships. Click any cell to open it. Source: dustinhosseini.com

Work in progress Illustrative draft — these positions and examples haven’t been validated with allied health professionals yet. Treat them as discussion prompts, not settled guidance, and expect this tab to change.
