When AI decides better than us, democracy becomes obsolete.
However, AI will need to be aligned with human interests. What are those? Now's your chance to vote![SYSTEM_MSG: PARTICIPATION_REQUIRED]
>VOTE_ON_THE_FUTURE#WHAT_IS_THIS
Human Preferences is a partly-tongue-in-cheek provocative project (and partly serious data gathering exercise) exploring what humans actually want from an AI-governed future. Like Metaculus for human values - but with an ironic twist.
#WHY_IT_MATTERS
As AI systems grow more capable, how we align them with human values becomes crucial. But what are those values? And who decides? This project playfully examines the tension between democratic decision-making and AI optimization.
#IS_THIS_REAL
The questions are thought-provoking and highlight a real underlying tension: in a world where AI might make better decisions than democratic processes, what happens to our notion of collective governance?
#NEXT_STEPS
Cast your vote on various questions about our AI-governed future. See how your preferences align with others. Consider the implications: if we outsource decisions to AI, what role does your vote really have?
“Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried.”
— Winston Churchill [before AI governance was an option]
