Giving Nature a Voice and the Responsible Development of AI

There are initiatives like rights of nature in countries such as Bolivia and Ecuador, giving rivers and mountains legal rights to speak for themselves. Some individuals, like Audrey Tang in Taiwan, are exploring creating language models for indigenous communities to represent what nature wants in Congress using generative AI. The positive applications of AI, such as enhancing medical treatments, highlight the importance of progressing at a safe pace with strong political advocacy to ensure responsible AI development. Drawing parallels with aerospace safety practices, like FAA regulations, underscores the need for a safety-conscious culture to avoid risks and ensure progress towards a better future.
