The Future of Life Institute reached out to For Humanity to see if Anthony could come on to promote his very impressive new campaign called Keep The Future Human. The campaign includes a book, an essay, a website, a video, it’s all incredible work. Please check it out:https://keepthefuturehuman.ai/John and Anthony have a broad ranging AI risk conversation, covering in some detail Anthony’s four essential measures for a human future. They also discuss parenting into this unknown future.In 2021, the Future of Life Institute received a donation in cryptocurrency of more than $650 million from a single donor.

John is convinced with $10M in six months he could succeed in making AI existential risk dinner table conversation on every street in America.John has developed a detailed plan that would launch within 24 hours of the grant award.
