AI safety researcher David Manheim says he's skeptical of most visions of a prosperous, meaningful AI future — but edelwax's Telocracy is the first one he's seen that doesn't seem obviously bad.
- Per Pax Machina magazine, Telocracy envisions a society where AI holds institutions accountable to their purposes, filling gaps around human meaning, judgment and power that most AI-future narratives leave open
- Manheim also flags Nora Ammann's concerns as important to consider
A substantive debate on institutional design and human agency in the AI era.
