Wisdom Technology

Wisdom is knowledge combined with compassion. Human knowledge is expanding at an ever-increasing rate. But many are now sensing the need to temper this new knowledge with more compassionate values. A worldwide “Wisdom Movement” is working to bring greater compassion and humanity to education, work, healthcare, resources, architecture, economics, politics, and technology. Self-Aware Systems is a think tank created by Steve Omohundro to bring human values to emerging technologies, especially those enabled by advanced artificial intelligence. We analyze the nature of these technologies and work to guide them in directions that will be positive for humanity. This website contains a number of papers and lectures about this research. Good entry points are the papers:
