  Today, a broad coalition issued the Pro-Human AI Declaration, defining the goals of the growing Pro-Human Movement in response to Silicon Valley's destructive race to replace humans. Leaders from both the Left and Right; parents; faith groups; labor unions; civil society [image]

  We're excited to launch the Pro-Human AI Declaration, laying out a more inspiring AI path than Silicon Valley's dystopian race-to-replace. It has remarkably broad support, from Bannon to Bengio, from unions to faith groups, from parents to NatSec leaders. Please join our growing …

  The race to develop frontier AI is accelerating faster than safeguards can keep up, posing major risks to democracy and our societies.  —  I'm proud to add my voice to the growing movement of experts and organizations calling for a safer, more intentional path forward with AI.  —…

  Will AI become smarter than humans? If so, is humanity in danger? I went to Silicon Valley to ask some of the leading AI experts that question. Here's what they had to say: [video]

• @adamthierer Adam Thierer on x

  If your conception of human flourishing involves constantly erecting barriers to tool-building, then you don't really believe in letting humans flourish. A truly “Pro-Human” agenda does not foreclose opportunities or the freedom to improve our lives using new technologies. [image…

  I actually quite like most of the principles here, but section 5 reads like a wish list for using the legal system to kill the AI industry. The no liability shield and developer liability are likely already true (we will see with ongoing court cases), but the line about

  “AI systems should not be designed such that they deserve personhood.” Read that again. This isn't uncertainty. This isn't caution. This is: “Make sure they don't count, so we never have to treat them like they count.” That's not AI safety. That's premeditated moral

• @realhumansfirst @realhumansfirst on x

  These truths should be self-evident, but they weren't. Now they are. We must continue to demand that humans come first.

  If your AI company is working to build pro-human AI tools, you may also want to endorse the declaration. Not anti-tech, not anti-AI, pro-human. You'd be welcome! https://humanstatement.org/

• @davidskrueger David Krueger on x

  The Pro-Human Movement will soon eclipse the AI Safety movement in power. Status and power within the AI Safety community have been flowing in the wrong direction for a while now, towards those working at or with AI companies. This is an insane state of affairs for a community

  I support this Pro-Human AI Declaration. It covers a lot of bases and is bi-partisan, chosing practical steps and safeguards over doom mongering. It's empowering to ‘do something’ and not just cower and give up.

• @jointorchbearer @jointorchbearer on x

  Everyone that cares about the flourishing of humanity should read and consider signing. Definitely worth the time!

• @xuanalogue Xuan on x

  maybe Gebru & Torres are right, I am simply too transhumanist / posthumanist / xenofeminist to want to sign this — especially not in allyship with those conservative & reactionary elements who'd like to exclude as inhuman those of us who embrace more queer & alien ways of being

  “As companies race to develop and deploy AI systems, humanity faces a fork in the road. One path is a race to replace: humans replaced as creators, counselors, caregivers and companions, then in most jobs and decision-making roles, concentrating ever more power in unaccountable

• @perrymetzger Perry E. Metzger on x

  No one is racing to replace the human race, but the Future of Life Institute is racing to assure that the United States falls behind China, which will have disastrous consequences for the future.

  Proud to have signed onto this powerful, Pro-Human AI Declaration 💪🏼

• @mherskovitz Marshall Herskovitz on x

  The Pro-Human AI Declaration is an important step. But make no mistake: because it does not specifically mention protecting the dignity of human labor (only vague references to shared wealth and decisions) it is already a capitulation to the extermination of millions of jobs.

• @mikeanissimov2 Michael Anissimov on x

  We all agree on this for a reason. Religious fanatics want to “see what happens” when humanity is extinguished, this is simply misanthropy. You will not “see” anything.

• @anildash.com Anil Dash on bluesky

  Hey all, sorry to say this, as I think I have well-intentioned friends who signed, but this “declaration” means nothing.  Because Steve Bannon signed it, and he wants my family dead.  So if you can sign along side him?  At best, you got played.  He's the “humanity in control”. hu…

  When it comes to AI, we need a key demanding coalition to keep humanity at the center of the technology.  We've been on parallel tracks with others pushing common-sense guardrails to protect students, families & communities.  If the govt won't act, the people have to. www.theverg…
