Moloch tells the dystopian AI story people aren't taking seriously enough: no rogue AI, no 1984. Just a race to replace humans, and no one willing - or able - to stop. 👇🔗 Watch Moloch NOW, and learn more at the link below.

Despite what AI companies want you to believe, AGI is not inevitable. The race-to-the-bottom to build it is not inevitable. Losing control of our future is not inevitable. We can build AI that works for humanity, instead of replacing us. This is how 👉 BetterPathFor.ai

Offloading Ourselves: An inquiry into staying human in the age of AI. New from Brian Boyd, FLI's U.S. Faith Liaison, for The American Enterprise Institute’s Council on AI Ethics 🔗⬇️

A statement from Future of Life Institute Religious Outreach Lead, @willjmjones, on @Pontifex’s AI encyclical: "His Holiness Pope Leo XIV’s much-anticipated encyclical on AI exemplifies the moral leadership so needed in an age when a handful of technology corporations race to replace humans in work, relationships and decision-making. While significant work remains to be done, the encyclical represents enormous progress in bringing the faithful into the conversation about how this technology will impact our world, our communities, and our families. It is a great gift, not only to Catholics, but to everyone grappling with the challenges of AI and discerning how to steer it away from harm and towards benefiting humanity. Notably, the encyclical mirrors and champions many of the core principles found in the Pro-Human AI Declaration, calling for humanity always to come first. The Encyclical is clear in its exhortation to reject human replacement: 'Humanity — in all its grandeur and woundedness — must never be replaced or surpassed. We can embrace the technological progress that alleviates suffering and unlocks new possibilities, provided that we do not abandon the very essence of our humanity, namely the capacity for relationship and love.' This is a direct rebuke of the leading AI companies' stated goal of creating smarter-than-human superintelligence. It is also an acknowledgement that AI tools, not autonomous general purpose systems, are the key to a flourishing human future. Magnifica Humanitas can serve as a rallying cry for the world to reassert unashamedly the primacy of humanity, in all its flawed glory, over our tools."

"[The Church] was one of many institutions to decide early on that human cloning was beyond the pale... Twenty years later, the resulting taboo has largely restrained governments, entrepreneurs, and scientists. Something similar could, and should, be achieved with superintelligence."

"A.I. is less regulated in America than sandwiches. You can’t open a sandwich shop without having your kitchen inspected. But you can release an A.I. girlfriend for 11-year-olds and that’s fine." @tegmark in @nytimes:
