Thinking that AI could kill everyone should not be considered crazy and unacceptable. Letting companies build something this dangerous should be considered crazy and unacceptable.

those developing AI should warn their users that their research could result in systems of superior intelligence and that it is not known if and how a superior intelligence can be controlled

Today, on the European Day for Solidarity Between Generations, we are reminded of those generations that don't yet have a seat at the table. We joined together in a series of powerful moments: ➡️Opening of the UN exhibition “Good ancestors” on future generations at the European Commission. ➡️ Dialogue at the European Parliament on how to build a fairer, more inclusive Europe. ➡️ A high-level exchange with The Elders, bridging global wisdom with local action. ➡️ A visit to CALICO, a co-housing project bringing generations together under one roof. Now we’re working on the first-ever EU Strategy on Intergenerational Fairness. 🗣️ Your voice matters! Tell us what intergenerational fairness means to you via the Citizens’ Engagement Platform: 👉 citizens.ec.europa.eu/index_en

Moment #1. The Good Ancestor exhibition: I began by opening an exhibition on future generations — a powerful reminder of our duty to be good ancestors.🇪🇺 Through art and culture, we are called to imagine and build a world that is fairer, more sustainable, and more inclusive for those who will come after us.
