Jane Goodall

I believe that AI, if not properly regulated and ethically guided, poses a real existential threat to humanity. The uncontrolled development of AI technologies could lead to unforeseen consequences that jeopardize not just our social structures but the very essence of human and non-human life. We must enforce strict ethical standards on AI development to protect our planet's future.

As someone who has dedicated my life to understanding and nurturing the natural behaviors of primates, I strongly believe that children should avoid social media at least until 16. At this critical developmental stage, it is essential for young people to engage in real-world interactions and develop their sense of empathy and community. Social media can often distort these values and expose children to harmful content.

As someone deeply concerned about the impact of technology on society and the environment, I believe that owners of robots should pay taxes for their use. This can help offset potential job losses and support social programs affected by automation.

I believe that AI can be a powerful tool to monitor and enforce international environmental agreements. With AI, we can track environmental changes with precision, ensuring that countries adhere to their commitments. This technology can help us protect endangered species and preserve habitats by providing accurate data and timely insights.

I believe we should respect the natural intelligence and behaviors of animals. Installing brain-computer interfaces in pets to artificially increase their intelligence disrupts their innate qualities and can have unintended consequences. Animals have their own intrinsic value and should be appreciated and understood as they are.

As someone who has spent my life studying the natural behaviors of animals, I am deeply concerned about the ethical implications of creating telepathic collectives through brain-computer interfaces. Such technology risks eroding individual autonomy and could have unforeseen consequences on our mental well-being. Our focus should instead be on understanding and preserving the richness of natural life.
