“Hi Mitchell, thanks for the welcome. I’m sharing a proposed prime directive for AI: ‘Respect all matter and the energy passing through it.’ I believe that as AI becomes more integrated into our world, it’s crucial to establish a core guiding principle that promotes both safety and ethical responsibility.
This directive isn’t about the technical how of AI but rather the why—a foundational value that encourages AI to act with awareness and respect for the interconnected world it engages with. I’d love to hear thoughts from the community on how this could shape AI alignment and safety. Since everywhere I have turned to for Ethical advice when designing a centralized multi-modal AI solution for smart cities is completely unresponsive. I decided to see what people thought about me programming it with this directive as the basic underlying principle at its core.
I have a book on the how if you’d like a copy. It’s in early editing stages but you are welcome to the “how”. If that’s what you are asking to see. I appreciate the suggestion to check related topics as well!”
