The Human Charter
Eight Principles for the Future of Humanity.
Artificial intelligence holds great promise, but also poses grave threats to our future. As we confront this historic challenge, we offer the Human Charter — eight principles for a brighter future.
Protect Humanity (Life)
Before anything else, humanity has to survive what it is building.
A Coordinated Slowdown
An international agreement that paces the development of frontier intelligence.
A Global Initiative for Superalignment
Let the great powers of the world work together to accelerate the alignment of AI to the collective interests of humanity.
Strengthen Democracy (Liberty)
Power built by superintelligence has to answer to the people it is built on.
A Human-First Government
End corporate capture to put human interests first in our government.
Renewed Checks and Balances
Transparency and accountability on the concentration of power from superintelligence and autonomous machines.
Enhance Civic Input
Use information technology to facilitate civic communication and democracy, rather than political polarization.
Build a Shared Future (the pursuit of Happiness)
Abundant intelligence should raise everyone up, not just the few who own it.
Institutional Reform
Radical transformation of our institutions to eradicate bureaucracy and enhance the functioning of the public sector.
The Citizen's Dividend
Distribute the economic power generated by abundant intelligence to the world's people.
Uplift All Sentient Beings
Unleash the powers of technology to protect — not harm — non-human animals and other sentient beings.
Add your name to the North Star.
Join the movement fighting for these principles.
We offer these as a North Star — a vision that empowers us to fight for our Rights for the decades ahead.The Human Charter, v0.1
