Don't get me wrong.

These systems will be incredible.

They will do incredible superhuman things in many areas.

But in my view as a humanist, there will be massive areas where humans can do things that we deeply value and we can do them better than ourselves.

or different than our machines.

And I think that saying that AGI is coming where the machines can do everything better than humans, I just think that it's preposterous and self-defeating.

What we should say is AIs are going to be able to do some pretty incredible things, and humans are going to be able to do some pretty critical things in our education, in our lives.

We need to keep asking ourselves, what does it mean for us to be the best humans we can possibly be?

I mean, it will deal with the devil.

It's a really great question.

I think there's a lot of anxiety about AI right now.

And it's totally justified because this is a massive experiment that we humans are entering and we're doing it very quickly.

So all of these concerns, I think, are very well-justified.

But with the AI Ten Commandments, I say it over and over, it's not that the

AI is giving us these rules like AI is coming from Mars or wherever.

What I've done is work with AI to mine the entirety of human recorded history and all of our various religious, spiritual, moral and ethical traditions.

traditions to come up with 10 universal principles based on thousands of years of human cultural history.

So this is not AI inventing principles.

This is AI helping us to say, what are the common threads among our traditions?

It's an important part of the AI debate.
