Why the AI Singularity Will Never Happen Under the Self-Alignment Framework
Introduction The idea of AI singularity—the point at which artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence and becomes uncontrollable—has fueled debates, speculation, and even fear about the future of AI. Many worry that AI could eventually outthink, outmaneuver, and override human decision-making, leading to unpredictable and possibly dangerous consequences. However, the Self-Alignment Framework (SAF) fundamentally prevents this […]
The Thermostat of Ethics: Understanding SAF Through a Simple Analogy
Introduction Imagine a room where the temperature constantly fluctuates, never reaching a comfortable level. Chaos, right?

Government is morally obliged […]
AI Governance Must Be Defined by Law Not Private Corporations
Introduction As artificial intelligence becomes more powerful and integrated into society, a critical question arises: Who should define the ethical principles that guide AI behavior? Companies like Anthropic have taken it upon themselves to create AI “constitutions”—ethical guidelines designed to regulate AI outputs. However, this approach raises serious concerns about accountability, legitimacy, and alignment with […]
