Action Determination: A Trauma Release & Recovery Pathway

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) conflates sexual violence in a myriad of abuse forms with religious institutions. Dr Alexander Hayes raises a contentious proposition that AGI can be employed in the emancipation of survivors of institutional sexual abuse through an approach known as the Action Determination Framework (ADF) which assists survivors to navigate the complex process of seeking justice and healing after experiencing abuse. By providing a structured pathway that enables survivors to reflect, disclose, collect, collate, create, present, and publish their experiences, this framework empowers survivors and helps them gain control over their personal narratives.

Dr. Alexander Hayes is a Scottish Australian author, social science researcher and academic scholar. Hayes identifies also as a traditional and generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) artist, with a storied career across interdisciplinary fields and multidisciplinary approaches as an entrepreneur. As a sexual violence survivor, Hayes tendered a book titled '#realstory' to the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse (Royal Commission) formally established on 11 January 2013. This was later endorsed and published by Dr Gary Foster of the Living Well Service, Queensland, Australia (https: //livingwell.org.au/from-men/stories-of-mens-experience/alexs-real-story/). Hayes holds a PhD in applied research by thesis, which focuses on the social and ethical implications of emergent technologies ( https: //ro.uow.edu.au/theses1/853/). As an entrepreneur, he consistently engages in collaborative co-design processes, often involving intercultural partnerships and tackling human rights and social justice issues (https: //oethica.org). An acclaimed and award-winning creative, Hayes has expressed himself through numerous artistic mediums including the use of artificial intelligence since 2013 throughout his career. As an Executive Producer, he has overseen the production of short films and feature documentaries. Additionally, his repertoire includes work as a photographer, printmaker, painter, sculptor, and audio-phonic installation artist. Hayes has also successfully published non-fiction biographical ethnography, as well as utilised artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies to create decentralised social-fiction Web3Lit narratives (https: //www.alexanderhayes.com). Most pertinent, throughout his life and career, Hayes has exemplified the spirit of a survivor, using his experiences and expertise to inspire and empower others. As an artist, scholar, and entrepreneur, Hayes continues to contribute in a multitude of ways promoting social justice, human rights, and intercultural understanding. Officially, the term "action determination" refers to trauma release and recovery pathways for victims of crime and their therapeutic supporters that complement traditional models of therapeutic intervention. Hayes declares that the core theoretical association of Action Determination with Acceptance Commitment Therapy is both attributive and directly derivative in associative therapeutic modality.
