1. HUMANITY AT A CROSSROADS
We humans of Earth,
deeply troubled by imminent and mounting threats
- to the survival of the human species, and
- to the survival of our solitary home in the vastness of space;
aware of accelerating dangers now of pandemics, environmental destruction, nuclear war, intercontinental conflict – along with other threats to human destiny as yet unforeseen, are hereby agreed and determined that the advent of powerful A.I. be used for good and not
for evil.
2. CONSCIOUSNESS
The mission and destiny of humankind is not known to individual humans.
“Why are we here?” is answered by speculation, a mixture of science and faith.
Without certainty,
the role of “consciousness” is central.
