Keeping AI Human is Non-Negotiable
AI is shaping our world faster than we ever imagined, but if we don’t keep people at the center of these systems, the risks are massive. From biased algorithms to surveillance abuses, unchecked AI could (and already is) deepen inequalities, strip away rights, and harm the most vulnerable. Humanity must guide every decision, or we risk a future where the technology runs us instead of the other way around.

AI That Works With Us, Not Against Us
AI should amplify what makes us human, not push us aside. But when systems are built without transparency or accountability, they can do real harm—misdiagnoses in healthcare, wrongful arrests, or entire communities left out of opportunities. If people aren’t part of the design process, we lose control of our own lives.

The Stakes Have Never Been Higher
We can’t leave the future of AI to chance or profit-driven motives (which may be the dominant paradigm). This is about protecting human rights, dignity, and freedom. Communities, policymakers, and everyday people need a seat at the table to steer this technology in the right direction. Ignoring these responsibilities could lead to a bleak future where decisions are made for us, not by us. If we combine human creativity with ethical guardrails, AI can help solve big challenges. But without those safeguards, we risk losing more than we gain.
