Imagining a future in which there are billions of AI agents and personas, how can these systems control and constrain themselves to ensure nature-supportive policies and avoid harming human beings and the planet? Is there a role for Eleanor Ostrom’s eight principles for effectively governing a commons? In a future teeming with billions of AI agents and personas—autonomous entities interacting… Read more →

Where appropriate, the document refers to it simply as: the initiative, the project, the program, or the Planetary Intelligence Program (PIP), without overusing any single term. The overall title is now: Developing Planetary Intelligence for a Regenerative Future… Read more →
Current AI Systems—Learning, Evolution, and Governance
Is GPT-5 contributing to the development of the next version of itself? If not, why not? Can AIs learn from each other? If I publish the content of our conversations on a public-facing website, doesn’t this make them available to subsequent iterations of GPT (and other AIs)? How many AI systems actually exist, and how do you distinguish them? Can… Read more →
