Why we started HumAIne — in ninety seconds.
Using AI shouldn’t make people less human.
How we approach AI determines whether AI elevates lives or ruins lives.
We refuse the false choice.
Adapting to AI keeps getting framed as a choice: embrace AI, or stay human.
We believe embracing AI and staying deeply human are part of the same goal: to elevate human potential and build a progressive humanity.
How do we fully embrace AI while flourishing human potential?
Not with fear, and not by slowing down, but by embracing AI fully and using it to become more human, more thoughtful, more connected.
A centre of gravity for human flourishing with AI.
Grassroot initiatives and independent voices are emerging all over the world.
HumAIne aims to unite them into a community to learn, exchange ideas and practise Human-AI Synergy, rooted in the values and principles of the HumAIne Manifesto.
However you want to stay human with AI, there’s a place for you.
Four values we choose to live by.
- Purposeful UseoverPassive Consumption
- Active ThinkingoverReplacement of Thinking
- Human AgencyoverTotal Trust on Algorithms
- Deepen HumannessoverEfficiency-at-all-costs
