Center for Humane Technology’s Post

"I don't see anything similar in scale trying to build aligned collective intelligence. And to me, that is the core problem we now need to solve." CHT co-founder Aza Raskin sat down with Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger on the Possible podcast to talk about why the race to build powerful AI demands we finally solve aligned collective intelligence. A must-listen on incentives vs intentions, AI governance, and how to steer technology toward humane outcomes. Link in comments.

A critical point — and one that becomes more urgent with every step forward in AI capability. The race to build increasingly powerful systems means nothing if we don’t simultaneously build aligned, collective intelligence that can guide them toward humane outcomes. Aza is right: nothing at scale today truly solves the problem of aligning human incentives, shared reasoning and collective decision-making. And yet, that’s the very foundation required to prevent AI from amplifying fragmentation, misinformation and misaligned goals. At TherapyFast, we see this challenge through a mental-wellbeing lens. Individual emotional states already influence collective behaviour; when AI is added to that dynamic, alignment and safety matter more than ever. Our work focuses on building systems that support human clarity, emotional regulation and safe decision-making — because without psychologically grounded individuals, collective intelligence cannot form in any meaningful or aligned way. This conversation is exactly what the field needs: not just more powerful AI, but wiser, more coordinated humans guiding it. 📩 nicky@therapyfast.co.uk 📅 https://calendly.com/nicky-therapyfast/30min 🌐 www.TherapyFast.app

In AI, the fantasy of “aligned collective intelligence” collapses under the immutable realities of multipolar competition, asymmetric incentives, fragmented information environments, and structurally baked-in defection dynamics that make global coherence not a solvable problem but an intrinsic impossibility of the system itself.

Solved it have reproducible results over 4 platforms. The method is simple and can be taught easily. With screenshots Next issue please? Mays well knock this out today and take the weekend off? Questions anyone?
