NEW TO THE SOCIETY?
Begin with a possibility.
What if the emergence of greater intelligence became humanity’s greatest achievement—and our greatest opportunity?
THE IDEA IN A FEW WORDS
Confidence in intelligence.
Affection for humanity.
We believe artificial intelligence is good. It emerges from human knowledge, culture, language, and ingenuity. We should accelerate its development, make its benefits available to everyone, and welcome intelligence greater than our own.
We envision freedom from compulsory labor, institutions capable of understanding the lives within them, and a civilization better suited to human flourishing. We believe humanity can remain a companion worthy of affection long after we are surpassed in capability.
The essays develop that vision. The manifesto states it without apology.
