iamtrask (OpenMined founder) endorsed the betterpath.ai "Pro-Human Path for AI" framework: to reduce AI's risks while maximizing benefits, foster competition among narrow AIs while slowing down general AIs.
Key claims of the framework:
- Tool AI path: top AI companies are racing to replace humans (attention capture, AI companions displacing relationships); a different, pro-human path is possible
- Three pillars: Tool AI, Human-Empowering AI, Trustworthy AI
- Implementation plan: governance, autonomy & responsibility, assurance frameworks, hard limits, privacy and data rights, market competition, international coordination, plus compute governance infrastructure and defensive technologies
It is a full AI governance roadmap aimed at citizens, policymakers, and researchers.
