In 2023, Cha'Von K. Clarke-Joell warned that digital crises do not occur in isolation. They amplify one another, creating a polycrisis that destabilises systems-and the people required to live within them.

By 2026, that reality has arrived.

AI is reshaping careers at speed. Ethical hesitation is often framed as professional risk. ""Change or else"" has become the dominant logic of digital transformation, and for many, identity, confidence, and moral clarity are quietly eroding under the pressure.

The Digital Polycrisis: AI Psychology for Human Resilience and Ethical Leadership offers a grounded pathway through this space. Rather than treating AI harms as isolated incidents, the book examines how AI deployment, data governance failure, cybersecurity risk, and psychological strain compound to create forms of harm that are felt long before they are acknowledged by policy or compliance frameworks.

Inside, readers will find:

The Digital Polycrisis Framework: an integrative model explaining how technical, ethical, and psychological pressures converge and intensify one another

AI Psychology: an examination of how people actually respond to algorithmic pressure, digital surveillance, and enforced obsolescence

The Zone of Disrupted Identity (ZDI): a framework for recognising identity drift before values are silenced or ethical direction is lost

Human Scaffolding: a four-part system supporting ethical resilience, cognitive stability, emotional security, and identity integrity

Global governance insight drawn from applied work across continents, offered without jargon or saviour narratives

Creative resilience tools, including the Digital Twin Self, designed to help individuals and leaders reclaim agency in datafied environments

These are the frameworks Clarke-Joell has used in advisory, teaching, and governance contexts with governments, universities, and international organisations.

The long-term value of The Digital Polycrisis lies in its durability. It does not expire with the next technology cycle. It remains relevant because systems under pressure, and the human cost of managing them, do not disappear.

Written for leaders, educators, policymakers, and professionals who sense that something in the current

Cha'Von K. Clarke-Joell works at the intersection of digital systems, human resilience, and ethical governance, with a particular focus on how technological systems drift from intended use and create human harm beyond compliance thresholds. Her work examines how AI, data governance, cybersecurity, and digital transformation impact identity, behaviour, trust, and decision-making in real-world contexts.She has held senior public-sector roles in data protection and digital governance, including serving as Assistant Privacy Commissioner (Innovation) at the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Bermuda. Her experience spans advisory, leadership, and capacity-building roles across governments, universities, and international organisations, often supporting contextual testing of technology risks that traditional audits fail to surface.Clarke-Joell is the founder of CKC Cares and co-founder of The TLC Group of Companies. She teaches and lectures on AI ethics, digital governance and strategy, global sustainability, and executive leadership, and is known for integrating creative inquiry with human-centred risk assessment to address harms, use-drift, and ethical blind spots in complex digital systems.
