The future recognizes that social and ecological justice are inseparable. Well-being measurement frameworks empower social and environmental change through response-able systems that enable participation and inclusion facilitated by data and AI governance frameworks.
I embrace a radical speculative futures framing where well-being impact assessments have become widely accepted and adopted as the industry standard for research and development of AI-based systems. The measurement and consideration of well-being is embraced and incentivized by governments, corporations, academia, civil society, and others as a core aspect of their work. The broad definition of well-being allows for practitioners and researchers to account for and protect the multidimensional aspects of human agency and identity in the repeated interactions between people and AI systems. Well-being indicator frameworks allow for the consideration of future people while also acknowledging the past legacy of existing power structures. 

Practically, AI well-being impact assessments provide (1) a means of measuring and assessing the impacts of AI on community well-being, (2) the engagement of communities in the development, deployment and management of AI, and (3) the creation of AI that improves community well-being and safeguards communities from social, ecological, economic and other threats such as climate change, dismantling of democracy, destabilizing economic inequality, and decimation of natural resources.
