The Human Question is an initiative founded by Dr. Roberto Gonzales, CPA, PhD, an Assistant Professor of Accounting at Fairfield University’s Dolan School of Business.

Dr. Gonzales began exploring artificial intelligence in early 2023 following the public release of tools like ChatGPT, a moment that marked a significant shift in how humans interact with technology. What began as curiosity quickly evolved into a deeper question:

What does it mean to be human in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence?

This platform is a response to that question.

Through The Human Question, Dr. Gonzales documents his ongoing exploration of AI, sharing insights, developing case studies, and creating practical materials designed for classrooms, organizations, and professionals navigating this new landscape. The goal is not only to understand AI, but to help others engage with it thoughtfully, responsibly, and effectively.

The site also serves as a resource hub. Visitors will find:

• Applied lessons on AI and prompt design, Teaching materials for educators

• Practical frameworks for professionals and organizations

• Reflections on how AI is reshaping judgment, work, and decision-making

At its core, The Human Question is not just about technology—it is about people.

It is about staying grounded as the world changes.
It is about asking better questions.
And it is about learning, together, how to adapt.
