EssayTowards Humanist SuperintelligenceNov 6, 2025
Creating superintelligence is one thing; but creating provable, robust containment and alignment alongside it is the urgent challenge facing humanity in the 21st century.EssayTowards Humanist SuperintelligenceNov 6, 2025
In doing this we reject narratives about a race to AGI, and instead see it as part of a wider and deeply human endeavour to improve our lives and future prospects.EssayTowards Humanist SuperintelligenceNov 6, 2025
It may seem absurd to have to declare it, but HSI is a vision to ensure humanity remains at the top of the food chain.EssayTowards Humanist SuperintelligenceNov 6, 2025
Or let me put it another way: take AI out of the picture and the gains over the next decades look much harder to come by.EssayTowards Humanist SuperintelligenceNov 6, 2025
We are not building an ill-defined and ethereal superintelligence; we are building a practical technology explicitly designed only to serve humanity.EssayTowards Humanist SuperintelligenceNov 6, 2025
With the arrival of thinking and reasoning models, we’ve crossed an inflection point on the journey towards superintelligence.EssayWe must build AI for people; not to be a person (Seemingly Conscious AI is Coming)Aug 19, 2025
In the blink of a cosmic eye, we passed the Turing test.EssayWe must build AI for people; not to be a person (Seemingly Conscious AI is Coming)Aug 19, 2025
Simply put, my central worry is that many people will start to believe in the illusion of AIs as conscious entities so strongly that they’ll soon advocate for AI rights, model welfare and even AI citizenship.EssayWe must build AI for people; not to be a person (Seemingly Conscious AI is Coming)Aug 19, 2025
