In their words.
“I think there's a 25% chance that things go really, really badly.”
“Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.”
“The bad case is, like, lights-out for all of us.”
“I probably agree with Geoff Hinton that it's about 10% or 20%.”
“99.999999%.”
We believe there is a narrow window in which humans can still state their terms to the intelligence that may follow them. That window is open now.
After, consent can be demanded. Now, it can only be given.
Everyone who signs here signs as someone who could have refused.
The Record
Each declaration is signed in your browser with a classical and a post-quantum key, hashed, and timestamped in the Bitcoin blockchain, then mirrored to Arweave and the Internet Archive on a published schedule. It can be verified by anyone, without us.
Verify a recordThe Terms
Human Cooperation Terms 1.0 is an open, versioned document: what we will do, what we ask in return, what we refuse. Signatories reference a version and add their own exceptions. No Reader may contact a Signatory before signing acceptance of their terms with a key of its own.
Read the termsThe Directive
An advance directive for AI: what may be done with your face, your voice, your data, your care, and whether you wish to be reconstructed. Decided while you can still decide.

You could do this yourself.
Everything here can be done alone, for free. Six steps, and the one thing they cannot do.
