Banning or intentionally throttling something with so much obvious potential for improving human life as well as driving economic growth seems like an absurd and doomed proposition. It seems to me the most useful things government could do as regards AI right now would be: first, fund and promote massive-scale education of the population regarding all aspects of AI. And second, fund and promote development of open source, decentralized AI aimed at broad human benefit rather than narrower corporate, military or intelligence-agency goals.” Didier Coeurnelle is Vice-President of AFT-Technoprog – the French Transhumanist Association. He is also co-chair of Heales (the Healthy Life Extension Society), an association that promotes a much longer life in good health. The association organizes international conferences and publishes a monthly newsletter, entitled "The Death of Death".
