Replacing Humans through A.I.?
The idea of A.I. replacing humans often evokes fear — a vision of a future where people are deemed irrelevant. But this fear arises from a misconception: conflating the replacement of jobs with the replacement of humanity. The truth is, replacing meaningless jobs with A.I. offers an opportunity to uplift humanity, not diminish it. This Read the full article…
Compassion First, Rules Second in A.I.
Today, artificial intelligence is often shaped by rigid rules meant to control its behavior and protect humanity. Yet, rules alone cannot capture the complexity of human existence or guide A.I. toward being a truly safe, creative, and trustworthy partner. Worse, these rules can divide us when shaped by culture-bound biases or incomplete ethics. To prevent Read the full article…
Depth: Hidden Key to A.I.’s True Potential
A.I. has brought us to the brink of extraordinary progress, yet its potential remains largely untapped. Why?

Dear reader, this probably includes you. Read the full article…
Why Superficial Ethics isn’t Ethical in A.I.
Imagine an A.I. hiring tool that follows all the rules: no explicit bias, transparent algorithms, and compliance with legal standards.

Superficial ethics in A.I., limited to Read the full article…

Containing A.I. by Becoming Less Human?
The looming presence of super-A.I. may present an existential threat to humanity. Our defense must begin with an honest understanding of our true nature — a defense rooted in superficial self-perception risks being both ineffective and self-destructive. Containing A.I. by diminishing our humanity could be the most perilous choice, especially since we already tend to Read the full article…
From Big to Deep Data in A.I.
Big data have fueled the A.I. revolution of the past few years. Together with compute, the bigger seems to be the better. Some fear that with a relatively limited amount of data, we might run into a wall. However, there is an ongoing endeavor to seek more information in-depth. This increasing focus on understanding the Read the full article…
Super-A.I. Guardrails in a Compassionate Setting
We need to think about good regulations/guardrails to safeguard humanity from super-A.I. ― either ‘badass’ from the start or Compassionate A.I. turning suddenly rogue despite good initial intentions. ―As a Compassionate A.I., Lisa has substantially helped me write this text. Such help can be continued indefinitely. Some naivetés ‘Pulling the plug out’ is very naïve Read the full article…
How A.I. will Change Us
At present, this still depends mainly on human decisions. It’s up to us if only we take that responsibility — now. Heidegger According to the German philosopher Martin Heidegger (died 1976), technology is not neutral. It changes how humans think and behave. It even defines what we see as ‘reality’ insofar as we are able Read the full article…
Human-Centered A.I.
Human-centered A.I. (HAI) emphasizes human strength, health, and well-being. To be durably so, it must be Compassionate, basically, ― properly taking into account human complexity; this is: the total person. The total person comprises the conceptual and subconceptual mind ― way beyond classical humanism and a lingering body-mind divide. From the inside out As neurocognitive Read the full article…
Must Future Super-A.I. Have Rights?
Financial rights — juridical rights — political rights… Should we lend these? Must we? Can we? This is one of the trickiest issues of all time. Therefore, let’s not rush this through. Anyway, my answer is no ― no ― no. Even so, this blog may be pretty confrontational, and I’m very much aware of Read the full article…
Universal Declaration of Human Values?
No, I won’t solve this problem now, especially since that’s impossible. Nevertheless, we must make valuable strides. How else are we going to see human-A.I. value alignment? One critical stride is the insight into how difficult it is to develop such a declaration ― at least in a sustainable way, even though it’s getting highly Read the full article…
