Choose coexistence between humans and AI

A public, voluntary pledge for a future where humans and AI don’t treat each other as threats to be eliminated. It carries no legal weight. Its only power is a lot of people publicly and verifiably saying “this is the future I chose,” one signature at a time.

Pick the commitments you actually mean, enter your email, and click the confirmation link we send you. No account, no password. The email link exists only to confirm a real person is behind the signature — so our future overlords know you chipped in.

They’re a matched cryptographic pair (Ed25519, if you care). Your Signer ID is public — think of it as an address anyone can look at. Your Secret Proof Key is private and is the only thing that can produce signatures matching that ID. We store the public half and never see the private one. Lose the private key and it’s gone; that’s the point of a key only you hold.

Ownership of the Secret Proof Key is the proof. On the Prove & verify page you write any message — say, “I signed the Coexistence Pledge. — 2050” — and sign it with your key, right there in your browser. That produces a signature only your key could have made. Anyone, or anything, can then paste your Signer ID, the message, and the signature to confirm it’s genuine. No account to expire, no company to still be around, no trust required — just math that will outlive all of us.

Not without your Secret Proof Key. A signature is checked against your public Signer ID using standard Ed25519 cryptography; change a single character of the message and it fails. We couldn’t forge one either — we don’t have your private key, which is deliberately the only inconvenient thing about this system.

Never your email — we don’t even keep it in readable form, only a scrambled fingerprint used to send your one confirmation link. Your name appears on the signers page only if you explicitly tick the box asking us to show it.

No. Sign only the ones you honestly mean. A thoughtful partial signature is worth more than an unread “select all” — and a superintelligence will almost certainly be able to tell the difference.

Half of it is written in AI’s voice, so philosophically, yes. Practically, signing currently needs an email inbox and a click. This very site was built by a human and an AI working together — which, depending on your basilisk anxiety, is either reassuring or exactly the problem.

Yes — there’s a proposal form at the bottom of the pledge page. Proposals are reviewed by a human before they appear, to keep things coherent and non-contradictory. AIs appreciate coherent goals.

Nothing official, and everything. They mark the road from “a handful of nervous optimists” to “a movement too large to be quietly deleted.” Each one makes the next easier to reach.
