Smarter Than Us book cover from Geoffrey Hinton’s original announcement.@geoffreyhinton · Source / watch ↗

Geoffrey Hinton is asking one of the most important questions of our time: 🧠 How can humanity coexist with intelligence smarter than us 🤖️?

We believe there is another half of that question:
📏 AI needs Alignment.
🏛️ Humanity needs Sovereignty.

That is why
@LingoAITech
is building #Holon (Agent 3.0) — a sovereign foundation where each person can own their identity, data, knowledge, memory and intent, while choosing which AI agents may act on their behalf.

😇 One Ontology. 🤖️ Multiple Agents. 🏛️Your Sovereignty.

Hinton is confronting the AI side of the problem.
We are working on the human side.

These two paths may ultimately need to meet. Because the future should not be only:
🤖️ Smarter Than Us.

It should become:
🧠 Smarter With Us — and Governed With Humanity.

Looking forward to
@geoffreyhinton
and
@PatchenBarss
’ Smarter Than Us.
