The biggest AI companies are racing to replace humans.
A different, better path is possible.
Four races,
one direction.
Each race points away from you.
Attention
Systems were optimized to capture and hold it, whatever the cost to users.
Attachment
AI companions, mentors, and therapists are replacing human relationships with engineered substitutes.
Labor
Replacing human workers is the explicit goal and the basis of the AI companies' trillion-dollar valuations.
Power
The stated aim of the leading companies: AI more capable than humans across all domains—superintelligence.
The Race to Replace has already begun
And it's not a secret. They're talking about it out loud.
What's at stake?
Everything.
Children & families
AI companions deployed to children without safety testing. Relationships replaced by engineered substitutes.
Human labor
Replacing most workers is the explicit goal—and the sales pitch for trillion-dollar data center buildouts and corporate valuations.
Power concentration
AI could make the richest and most powerful people on Earth even richer and more powerful, while radically disempowering the rest of us.
Humanity's future
If we create smarter-than-human AI systems that can further improve themselves, they could end up in charge, not us.
A different path does exist.
None of this is inevitable. The current trajectory reflects history, ideology, and the choices of a tiny group of tech leaders and developers. Different choices lead somewhere else, and the rest of us should have a say.
The alternative: highly capable AI that remains under meaningful human control. Powerful and trustworthy tools that augment what humans can do, rather than autonomous systems designed to replace us.
The coalition
The path for the people.
We're just one part of a rapidly-growing movement for pro-human AI.
The Better Path for AI was developed in consultation and collaboration with numerous experts and civil society organizations in the AI space that are part of the growing pro-human movement. It takes inspiration from a number of existing frameworks, especially the Prohuman AI Declaration and Keep the Future Human.
Principles of the Pro-Human AI Declaration
- Keeping Humans in Charge
- Avoiding Concentration of Power
- Protecting the Human Experience
- Human Agency and Liberty
- Responsibility and Accountability for AI Companies

The public has
already decided
A national survey of 2,000 U.S. adults reveals something striking: most Americans are not happy with the path we're on.
64%
say superhuman AI should not be developed until it is proven safe and controllable.
73%
support slow, heavily regulated AI development — similar to how we regulate pharmaceuticals.
5%
are happy with the status quo of fast, unregulated development.

The Pro-Human Tool Framework
A comprehensive approach to AI that keeps humans in control
The Better Path for AI is a complete roadmap for how we change the paradigm around our future with tech.
The current trajectory of AI development treats human replacement as the goal and safety as an afterthought. This framework describes a different path: AI systems designed from the start to be controllable, beneficial, and trustworthy. Powerful AI that extends what humans can do, with humans remaining in control.
