POWERFUL TRUTHFUL SAFE AI
The Leverage of Intelligence and the Pursuit of Truth
Humanity faces a growing number of serious challenges of increasing scope and complexity. In 2012 we founded The Mind First Foundation because we became concerned about this trend; yet we believed then, and still believe, that it is possible to overcome these challenges.
Why “Mind First?”
We have always maintained that there is only one sensible approach to solving humanity’s problems, one most-efficient and leveraged solution: more and better intelligence—better minds. There are other ways to reduce the severity of our problems in the short term but the only way to create lasting solutions is with better minds. And better minds means better AI.
AI will become the most powerful technology ever created. The potential for both benefit and the risk will grow. We think the benefit to risk ratio is best for AIs that adhere to truth, and that risk will increase as biases and evidence-free beliefs impinge upon the pursuit of universal and timeless, logical, philosophical, scientific, mathematical truth. Mind First is working to create AI that is powerful, truthful, and safe.
