  The allure of emerging AI technologies is undoubtedly thrilling. However, the
promise that AI technologies will benefit all of humanity is empty so long as
we lack a nuanced understanding of what humanity is supposed to be in the face
of widening global inequality and pressing existential threats. Going forward,
it is crucial to invest in rigorous and collaborative AI safety and ethics
research. We also need to develop standards in a sustainable and equitable way
that differentiate between merely speculative and well-researched questions.
Only the latter enable us to co-construct and deploy the values that are
necessary for creating beneficial AI. Failure to do so could result in a future
in which our AI technological advancements outstrip our ability to navigate
their ethical and social implications. This path we do not want to go down.
