About this listen
Craig Kaplan's nearly four-decade career in artificial intelligence culminated in a singular mission: ensuring that superintelligent systems embody human values rather than threatening humanity's future. His core insight—that values trump technology and that reason alone cannot generate moral frameworks—rests on philosophical foundations that superintelligent machines will never independently derive ethics and therefore must receive human values during their design phase.
Kaplan's mission democratizes responsibility for AI safety by recognizing that every individual shapes superintelligent systems through their digital behavior. In education, he champions critical thinking over AI bans, emphasizing that teachers remain irreplaceable for transmitting values and modeling ethical behavior in ways no algorithm can replicate.
Kaplan advances his mission through their website, offering the AI Safety Series—twenty-six concise videos and whitepapers making superintelligence and value alignment accessible to educators, policymakers, and citizens beyond technical specialists.
