The app is currently functional and available for download, and this role is part of the Version 2 enhancement phase. The focus of this phase is to refine AI reasoning and emotional intelligence, integrate African ancestral wisdom for cultural depth, apply theological and philosophical frameworks, enhance UI/UX design, and add a health and medical ethical model to expand the app's real-life impact. Each volunteer will be assigned a distinct enhancement area, ensuring clarity, accountability, and measurable impact in their contributions to the app's development.

Duties and Responsibilities:

This includes creating ethical content that reflects diverse global communities, ensuring the total output includes 20 dilemmas or stories to enhance the app’s moral reasoning database. Volunteers will collaborate with the AI development team to ensure that their outputs follow authentic ethical logic, intercultural understanding, and anthropological principles. Additionally, they must ensure that all newly developed content reflects moral clarity, cultural balance, spiritual awareness, and a broad anthropological worldview.
