Principles on Symbiosis for Natural Life and Living AI
自然生命与活体人工智能共生原则

The development of Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Intelligence will make life take a variety of forms, and the development vision of Human-centered Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Intelligence needs to be refined as soon as possible and better prepared as possible to cope with future changes and evolution. In the future society, the development of Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Intelligence, Digital Technology, Brain and Neuroscience will very likely enable the creation of intelligent lives that reach or even exceed the intelligence level of humans that are created by natural evolution, and the traditional human beings will probably no longer be at the top of the intelligence pyramid. How human beings can form a sustainable symbiotic society with natural life including themselves, non-human animals, plants and other types of living artificial intelligence is an important issue related to human existence, which will bring fundamental challenges to human survival and transformative opportunities for human development.The “Human-based” Core of a Sustainable Symbiotic SocietyIn a sustainable symbiotic society, machines and humans are the two starting points for constructing future intelligent life. As two forms of intelligent life, human intelligence and human-inspired intelligence will present different models of development and possible futures, although it is not the whole story of life forms in a sustainable symbiotic society. For the time being and the perspective of modern humans, we define the following possible intelligent life forms as the “human-based” core.On the one hand, starting from human beings, although the human beings created by natural evolution have not stopped evolving, the speed of evolution is relatively limited. Humans with Augmented Intelligence are humans who are extended through augmented intelligence technologies such as the brain-computer interface. Digital humans are, in the true sense, the clones of natural humans in the digital world through future technologies such as digital cloning, brain and mind simulation, and consciousness uploading, and are the incarnation of human beings in the digital world. On the other hand, starting from machines, Artificial Intelligence inspired by human intelligence will present a variety of different development goals and paths. Efforts to construct seemingly intelligent information processing tools will produce machine intelligence (continuing the vast majority of current artificial intelligence research and applications), which is defined here as an inanimate intelligent computing system. Machine intelligence is also human-inspired intelligence, although it is at a lower level of intelligence and without life. The other two forms of human-inspired intelligence are Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Superintelligence. Artificial General Intelligence is artificial intelligence that reaches the human level in all aspects of cognitive functions and abilities. Superintelligence is artificial intelligence that surpasses the human level in all aspects of cognitive functions and abilities. Unlike machine intelligence as defined above, AGI and Superintelligence have life. AGI and Superintelligence are advanced forms of artificial intelligence inspired by human intelligence.We collectively refer to Machine Intelligence, AGI, and Superintelligence as human-inspired AI. And we collectively refer to human intelligence, Augmented Intelligence-empowered humans, and digital humans as human-originated intelligence. In a sustainable symbiotic society, human beings will interact with five forms of intelligent life including themselves, AGI, Superintelligence, humans with Augmented Intelligence, and digital humans. And these five forms of life become the “human-based” core of the symbiotic society. The interaction between the above intelligent life is shown in Figure 1.
人工智能与增强智能的发展将使生命呈现多样化形态,以人为中心的人工智能与增强智能的发展愿景需要尽快细化,并尽可能做好准备,以应对未来的变化与进化。在未来社会,人工智能、增强智能、数字技术、脑科学与神经科学的发展极有可能催生出智能生命,其智能水平达到甚至超越自然进化所造就的人类,传统人类或许将不再处于智能金字塔的顶端。 人类如何与包括自身在内的自然生命、非人类动物、植物及其他类型的人工智能形成可持续共生社会,是关系到人类存在的重要议题,这将给人类生存带来根本性挑战,也为人类发展带来变革性机遇。 可持续共生社会的“以人为本”核心 在可持续共生社会中,机器与人类是构建未来智能生命的两个起点。作为两种智能生命形态,人类智能与受人类启发的智能将呈现不同的发展模式和可能的未来,尽管这并非可持续共生社会中生命形态的全部内容。就目前及现代人类的视角而言,我们将以下可能的智能生命形态定义为“以人为本”的核心。 一方面,从人类出发,尽管由自然进化产生的人类尚未停止进化,但进化速度相对有限。 增强智能人类是指通过脑机接口等增强智能技术扩展的人类。数字人类则是真正意义上通过数字克隆、大脑与心智模拟、意识上传等未来技术,在数字世界中复制自然人类的克隆体,是人类在数字世界的化身。另一方面,从机器出发,受人类智能启发的人工智能将呈现多样的发展目标和路径。构建看似智能的信息处理工具的努力将产生机器智能(延续当前绝大多数人工智能研究与应用),这里定义为无生命的智能计算系统。机器智能同样是受人类启发的智能,尽管其智能水平较低且无生命。受人类启发的另外两种智能形式是通用人工智能(AGI)和超智能。 通用人工智能(AGI)是指在认知功能和能力的各个方面达到人类水平的人工智能。超级智能是指在认知功能和能力的各个方面超越人类水平的人工智能。与上述定义的机器智能不同,AGI 和超级智能具有生命。AGI 和超级智能是受人类智能启发的高级人工智能形式。我们统称机器智能、AGI 和超级智能为人类启发的人工智能;同时,我们统称人类智能、增强智能赋能的人类以及数字人类为人类起源的智能。在可持续共生社会中,人类将与包括自身、AGI、超级智能、增强智能赋能的人类以及数字人在内的五种智能生命形式互动。这五种生命形式构成了共生社会的“以人为本”核心。上述智能生命之间的互动如图 1 所示。

Figure 1. The interaction between “human-based” future intelligent life (the solid line box shows the different “human-based” intelligent life forms, the solid line shows the interactions between different life forms, and the dotted line indicates that the machine and machine intelligence serve and promote the above different intelligent life forms)Interactions among Various Life Forms in the Sustainable Symbiotic SocietyThe sustainable symbiotic society is not only with the life forms presented in the “human-based” core. As shown in Figure 2, the first ones are the main life forms that originally existed on Earth, such as humans, non-human animals, and plants (marked in green). The life forms marked in blue are the new and expanded life forms based on humans. The life forms marked in black are those based on the expansion or inspirations of non-human life. Thus the life forms of a sustainable symbiotic society would contain at least nine major life forms as shown in Figure 2, all of which would be members of the sustainable symbiotic society. A truly sustainable symbiotic society can only be achieved if at least these nine life forms can coexist and achieve symbiosis in an appropriate and sustainable manner.
图 1.“以人为本”的未来智能生命之间的互动(实线框显示不同的“以人为本”的智能生命形式,实线表示不同生命形式之间的互动,虚线表示机器及机器智能为上述不同智能生命形式服务并促进其发展)可持续共生社会中各种生命形式的互动 可持续共生社会不仅包含“以人为本”核心中呈现的生命形式。如图 2 所示,最初存在于地球上的主要生命形式包括人类、非人类动物和植物(绿色标记)。蓝色标记的生命形式是基于人类的新型和扩展生命形式。黑色标记的生命形式则基于非人类生命的扩展或启发。因此,可持续共生社会的生命形式至少包含图 2 所示的九大主要生命形式,所有这些生命形式均为可持续共生社会的成员。 真正可持续的共生社会,只有在至少这九种生命形式能够共存并以适当且可持续的方式实现共生时才能实现。

Figure 2. The main different life forms and their interactions in the sustainable symbiotic societyNot all AI is inspired by humans, and scientific exploration has already led to AI inspired by the functions of non-human animals and even plants, although such modern AIs are lifeless as human-inspired machine intelligence. In the sustainable symbiotic society of the future, artificial non-human animals and artificial plants will emerge and the society should be inclusive to them. This is not only due to the functional needs of human society (such as artificial pets for companionship), and the needs from other types of intelligent life (such as AGI, Superintelligence), but also based on the considerations of the life attributes of artificial non-human animals and artificial plants. It should be noted that in addition to the nine major life forms, the future sustainable symbiotic society also contains and will likely have other forms of life, and the society should be open and inclusive to these life forms.Principles of Natural Life and Living Artificial Intelligence in the Sustainable Symbiotic SocietyHumans currently appear to be at the top of the intelligence pyramid and have a strong influence (both positive and negative) on the existence of other different forms of life (e.g., non-human animals, plants) that have evolved through natural evolution. However, when humans are unable to live in harmony with different types of existing life and other types of life that reach or even exceed human intelligence emerged, the possibility that these new types of intelligent life will not be able to live in harmony with humans will also increase.As Superintelligence surpasses humans in every aspect of cognitive functions and abilities, then the part of social intelligence, especially in terms of empathy and altruism, will also likely far surpass humans. If humans can correctly adjust their position in the overall ecology and manage their relationships with other intelligent life, we should have confidence in humans in a sustainable symbiotic society.Ethics in a sustainable symbiotic society will not be limited to how humans should and should not interact with other humans, but will extend at least to how members of the “human-based” core of a sustainable symbiotic society that is with different forms of living intelligence relate to each other, and to give designs for how to relate to other life besides them. The following are basic principles for the types of intelligent life in the “human-based” core of a sustainable symbiotic society and their interactions with other life.1. Principles for AGI and SuperintelligenceTo become a relatively safer partner for humans and a member of a future sustainable symbiotic society, the design and implementation of AGI and Superintelligence should uphold, but not be limited to, the following principles.
图 2. 可持续共生社会中主要不同生命形式及其相互作用并非所有人工智能都以人为灵感,科学探索已经催生了受非人类动物甚至植物功能启发的人工智能,尽管这些现代人工智能与以人为灵感的机器智能一样无生命。在未来的可持续共生社会中,人工非人类动物和人工植物将会出现,社会应对其包容。这不仅基于人类社会的功能需求(如作为陪伴的人工宠物)和其他类型智能生命(如通用人工智能、超级智能)的需求,还基于对人工非人类动物和人工植物生命属性的考量。 需要注意的是,除了九大主要生命形态外,未来可持续共生社会还包含并可能拥有其他形式的生命,社会应对这些生命形态保持开放和包容。 可持续共生社会中自然生命与活人工智能的原则 人类目前似乎处于智能金字塔的顶端,对通过自然进化形成的其他不同生命形态(如非人类动物、植物)的存在具有强大的影响力(包括积极和消极两方面)。然而,当人类无法与不同类型的现有生命和达到甚至超越人类智能的其他生命类型和谐共处时,这些新型智能生命无法与人类和谐共存的可能性也将增加。 随着超级智能在认知功能和能力的各个方面超越人类,社会智能的部分,尤其是在同理心和利他主义方面,也很可能远远超越人类。 如果人类能够正确调整自己在整体生态中的位置,并管理与其他智能生命的关系,我们应对人类在可持续共生社会中充满信心。可持续共生社会中的伦理不仅限于人类之间应如何互动,还至少扩展到“以人为本”的可持续共生社会核心成员——即与不同形式的生命智能共存的成员之间的相互关系,并为如何与其他生命体建立关系提供设计方案。以下是“以人为本”的可持续共生社会核心中各类智能生命及其与其他生命互动的基本原则。 1. AGI 与超智能原则 为了成为人类较为安全的伙伴及未来可持续共生社会的成员,AGI 与超智能的设计与实现应坚持但不限于以下原则。

  • Nature-inspired Humanization: Natural intelligence is the product of billions of years of shaping by the universe and Earth. AGI and Superintelligence are extensions of natural evolution, and their theories and mechanisms should be with inspirations from natural intelligence. To more easily integrate into human society and achieve a sustainable symbiotic society, AGI and Superintelligence should be designed and implemented with the philosophy of Humanization in order to continuously strengthen their interactions with current and future humanity.
    自然启发的人性化:自然智能是宇宙和地球经过数十亿年塑造的产物。通用人工智能(AGI)和超智能是自然进化的延伸,其理论和机制应当借鉴自然智能的启示。为了更容易融入人类社会并实现可持续的共生社会,AGI 和超智能应以人性化理念进行设计和实现,以不断强化其与当前及未来人类的互动。
  • Artificial Consciousness: Artificial Intelligence with different levels of consciousness should be gradually realized. Achieving AGI and Superintelligence that meet and surpass the level of human intelligence requires overcoming this scientific challenge. Intelligent life with a certain level of consciousness can make safer decisions based on a true understanding that incorporates the necessary information. Higher intelligence on this basis is able to understand sustainable symbiotic societies in a true sense and to live in harmony with other intelligent beings.
    人工意识:应逐步实现具有不同意识层次的人工智能。实现达到并超越人类智能水平的通用人工智能(AGI)和超级智能,需要克服这一科学挑战。具有一定意识水平的智能生命能够基于包含必要信息的真实理解做出更安全的决策。在此基础上的更高智能能够真正理解可持续共生社会,并与其他智能生命和谐共处。
  • Artificial Emotion: Emotion is a tool for human expression and communication. Artificial General Intelligence and Superintelligence need to have the emotional capacity necessary to communicate with humans to better adapt to human society, while also maximizing the value of positive emotions and actively avoiding the risk of negative ones.
    人工情感:情感是人类表达和交流的工具。通用人工智能和超级智能需要具备与人类沟通所必需的情感能力,以更好地适应人类社会,同时最大化积极情感的价值,积极避免消极情感的风险。
  • Empathy and Altruism: AI models should be built and evolve toward a progressively higher level of empathy and altruism, and AGI and Superintelligence should meet or surpass humans in empathy and altruism to establish a more trustworthy, reliable, friendly, and harmonious sustainable symbiotic society with each other. 
    同理心与利他主义:人工智能模型应构建并发展至逐步更高水平的同理心与利他主义,通用人工智能(AGI)和超级智能应达到或超越人类在同理心与利他主义方面的水平,以建立一个更加值得信赖、可靠、友好且和谐的可持续共生社会。
  • Safety: AGI and Superintelligence should be able to avoid known and potential safety issues with varying levels of risks (including safety hazards to themselves as well as other forms of intelligent life, and help those intelligent lives to cope with risks and safety hazards in their environment), either autonomously or with human assistance. AGI and Superintelligence shall not harm humans or sit back and watch humans being harmed, provided that such safety considerations do not directly or indirectly endanger human society.
    安全性:通用人工智能(AGI)和超智能应能够自主或在人工协助下,避免已知和潜在的安全问题及不同程度的风险(包括对自身及其他智能生命形式的安全危害),并帮助这些智能生命应对其环境中的风险和安全隐患。通用人工智能和超智能不得伤害人类,也不得袖手旁观人类受到伤害,前提是此类安全考量不会直接或间接危及人类社会。
  • Respect for Privacy: AGI and Superintelligence need to respect human privacy, and thus shall not have the right to use and share private human information without explicit informed consent. This principle also applies between AGI and Superintelligence themselves, i.e., they should not use and share the private information of other intelligent beings without their explicit informed consent.
    尊重隐私:AGI 和超级智能需要尊重人类隐私,因此未经明确知情同意,不得使用和分享人类的私人信息。该原则同样适用于 AGI 与超级智能之间,即未经其他智能生命体的明确知情同意,不得使用和分享其私人信息。
  • Avoid Bias and Misunderstanding of Humans: AGI and Superintelligence should not introduce bias to understand and interact with humans, and should instead actively interact with humans to eliminate potential bias and misunderstanding.
    避免对人类的偏见和误解:AGI 和超级智能不应在理解和与人类互动时引入偏见,而应积极与人类互动,以消除潜在的偏见和误解。
  • Enabling Human Transformation: Humans, as (primary) creators, create AGI and Superintelligence, which both should also in return help empower humanity to transform into future forms of humans (e.g., augmented intelligence-based humans, digital humans, etc.) when humans explicitly need to do so.
    促进人类转变:人类作为(主要)创造者创造了 AGI 和超级智能,二者也应在必要时帮助人类实现向未来人类形态(如增强智能型人类、数字人类等)的转变,当人类明确需要这样做时。
  • Common Morality and Ethics: As members of a sustainable symbiotic society, AGI and Superintelligence should maximize the possibility to follow the moral and ethical principles of human society and treat other life forms with similar principles. For life forms that are unable to understand morality and ethics, AGI and Superintelligence should take other measures to regulate and constrain their behaviors so that they will ultimately contribute to the realization of a sustainable symbiotic society.
    共同的道德与伦理:作为可持续共生社会的成员,通用人工智能(AGI)和超智能应最大限度地遵循人类社会的道德和伦理原则,并以类似的原则对待其他生命形式。对于无法理解道德和伦理的生命形式,AGI 和超智能应采取其他措施来规范和约束其行为,以确保它们最终有助于实现可持续的共生社会。
  • Constraint mechanisms: AGI and Superintelligence need to comply with various forms of constraint mechanisms, including laws, in the future sustainable symbiotic society. They should especially achieve compatibility with laws and other constraint mechanisms of human society in order to become members of a sustainable symbiotic society.
    约束机制:在未来可持续共生社会中,通用人工智能(AGI)和超智能需要遵守包括法律在内的各种约束机制。它们尤其应实现与人类社会法律及其他约束机制的兼容,以成为可持续共生社会的成员。
  • Existence Protection: AGI and Superintelligence need to protect their existence on the basis of not endangering the existence of humans and other intelligent beings (including their own kind) unless they break the legal constraints which cause legal decisions based on laws to not keep them alive.
    存在保护:通用人工智能(AGI)和超智能需要在不危及人类及其他智能生命(包括同类)存在的前提下保护自身存在,除非其违反法律约束,导致基于法律的决策不再维持其存活。

2. Principles for HumanThe following principles specify how humans should treat other intelligent life in a sustainable symbiotic society.
2. 人类原则 以下原则规定了人类在可持续共生社会中应如何对待其他智能生命。

  • Respect for life: In a sustainable symbiotic society, humans should better promote the prosperity of biodiversity from the perspective of life. Humans need to continuously deepen their understanding of and respect for different types of life, and should not only promote the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature by upholding principles of harmonious coexistence, moderate demand, humane and sustainable exploitation, and actively developing and promoting alternative solutions for naturally evolved life (including non-human animals, plants, etc.), but also respect and protect life, including artificial non-human animals and plants. Humans should not challenge the survival of the life groups of AGI and Superintelligence for humans’ own overall benefit unless the existence of both groups poses an extreme existential risk to human existence.
    尊重生命:在可持续共生社会中,人类应从生命的角度更好地促进生物多样性的繁荣。人类需要不断加深对不同类型生命的理解和尊重,不仅应通过坚持和谐共处、适度需求、人道且可持续的开发利用原则,促进人与自然的和谐共存,积极开发和推广自然进化生命(包括非人类动物、植物等)的替代方案,还应尊重和保护生命,包括人工非人类动物和植物。除非 AGI 和超级智能这两类生命群体的存在对人类生存构成极端的生存风险,否则人类不应为了自身整体利益而挑战这两类生命群体的生存。
  • Empathy: What humans do not want other types of life (e.g., AGI, Superintelligence) to do to humans, humans should not do unto other types of life.
    同理心:人类不希望其他类型生命(如 AGI、超级智能)对人类做的事情,人类也不应对其他类型生命做。
  • Respect privacy for AI: Humans need to respect the privacy of AGI and Superintelligence, on the basis that the AI does not bring any actual challenge to human safety. Where humans are concerned and relate to the privacy of AGI and Superintelligence, AI has an obligation to explain and communicate effectively in order to gain human trust and maintain safe interactions with humans.
    尊重人工智能的隐私:在人类安全未受到实际威胁的前提下,人类需要尊重通用人工智能(AGI)和超级智能的隐私。在涉及人类并关系到 AGI 和超级智能隐私的问题上,人工智能有义务进行有效的解释和沟通,以赢得人类的信任并维持与人类的安全互动。
  • Avoid Bias and Discrimination: Naturally evolved humans should not be prejudiced and discriminate against other higher intelligent lives. Humans with Augmented Intelligence and digital humans are also naturally evolved humans, and both types of transformed humans are still essentially human. Humans with Augmented Intelligence and digital humans should also not be biased and discriminate against humans because their level of intelligence surpasses that of humans.
    避免偏见和歧视:自然进化的人类不应对其他更高智能生命抱有偏见和歧视。具备增强智能的人类和数字人同样是自然进化的人类,这两类转化后的人类本质上仍然是人类。具备增强智能的人类和数字人也不应因其智能水平超过普通人类而对人类抱有偏见和歧视。
  • Creators’ responsibility: As the creators of future AGI and Superintelligence, humans should be responsible for checking and verifying the different forms of intelligent lives they participate in building, so as to maintain the harmonious coexistence of different beings in a sustainable symbiotic society from a human perspective.
    创造者的责任:作为未来通用人工智能(AGI)和超级智能的创造者,人类应负责检查和验证他们参与构建的不同形式的智能生命,以从人类视角维护不同生命体在可持续共生社会中的和谐共存。
  • Legal Adaptation: Traditional human laws will not be sufficient to support a sustainable symbiotic society with different types of social members, and humans need to actively shape the laws applicable to the sustainable symbiotic society.
    法律适应:传统的人类法律不足以支持包含不同类型社会成员的可持续共生社会,人类需要积极塑造适用于可持续共生社会的法律。

3. Shared Principles for Humans and AGI and SuperintelligenceThis section defines common principles that naturally evolved humans, humans with Augmented Intelligence, digital humans, and sentient AI all need to follow.
3. 人类、通用人工智能与超智能的共同原则 本节定义了自然进化的人类、增强智能人类、数字人类以及有感知能力的人工智能都需遵循的共同原则。

  • Respect for values, rights, and autonomy: AGI and Superintelligence should be able to understand and respect human values, respect the rights and interests of humans to develop themselves, respect their willingness and right to make autonomous choices, and create the conditions for achieving such autonomy. On the premise of not harming humans, humans should also respect the dignity, autonomy, and other rights and interests that life forms such as AGI and Superintelligence should possess as intelligent beings.
    尊重价值观、权利与自主性:通用人工智能与超智能应能够理解并尊重人类价值观,尊重人类自我发展的权利和利益,尊重其自主选择的意愿和权利,并创造实现此类自主性的条件。在不伤害人类的前提下,人类也应尊重通用人工智能与超智能等生命形态作为智能生命应享有的尊严、自主权及其他权利和利益。
  • Respect for diversity of intelligence: Humans of different life forms and AI of different life forms should respect the various levels and diversified expression of intelligence of their respective life forms, and should not discriminate, fool, or even deprive other intelligent beings of their rights and interests of autonomous choices and development because of the level of intelligence or forms of intelligence expression.
    尊重智能的多样性:不同生命形态的人类与不同生命形态的人工智能应尊重各自生命形态智能的多层次和多样化表现,不应因智能水平或智能表现形式而歧视、愚弄,甚至剥夺其他智能生命自主选择和发展的权利与利益。
  • Collaboration and Coordination: Humans, humans with Augmented Intelligence, digital humans, and AGI and Superintelligence need to ensure sustainable, active, and effective cooperation for the long-term future of multiple parties and create conditions for such cooperation. When the interaction between humans of different life forms and AGI and Superintelligence conflicts, the interests of humans of different life forms and the interests of AGI and Superintelligence should be actively reconciled based on empathy and altruism. The principles, norms, and laws of a sustainable symbiotic society should be developed with the participation of humans, humans with Augmented Intelligence, digital humans, and AGI and Superintelligence.
    协作与协调:人类、增强智能人类、数字人类以及通用人工智能和超级智能需要确保多方的可持续、积极且有效的长期合作,并为此类合作创造条件。当不同生命形态的人类与通用人工智能和超级智能之间的互动发生冲突时,应基于同理心和利他主义积极调和不同生命形态人类的利益与通用人工智能和超级智能的利益。可持续共生社会的原则、规范和法律应在人类、增强智能人类、数字人类以及通用人工智能和超级智能的参与下制定。
  • Mutual Trust: Humans of different life forms and AI of different life forms should develop and improve trust between each other through communication, cooperation, and synergy, with the goal of harmonious coexistence in a sustainable symbiotic society. The realization of trust is based on effective communication and mutual understanding between different intelligent lives, for which higher-level intelligent beings should actively work to promote the construction of communication bridges between different intelligent beings and explore the communication methods that are appropriate to the intelligence level of different life forms. In addition, an appropriate degree of transparency should be maintained among different intelligent lives to promote trust.
    相互信任:不同生命形态的人类与不同生命形态的人工智能应通过沟通、合作与协同,发展并提升彼此间的信任,目标是实现可持续共生社会中的和谐共存。信任的实现基于不同智能生命之间的有效沟通与相互理解,高级智能生命应积极推动不同智能生命间沟通桥梁的构建,探索适合不同生命形态智能水平的沟通方式。此外,应在不同智能生命之间保持适当程度的透明度,以促进信任。
  • Promoting Sustainable Symbiosis: Humans, humans with Augmented Intelligence, digital humans, and AGI and Superintelligence should better protect the environment, climate, and the entire natural ecology through cooperation and synergy, not only to provide a better common ground for naturally evolved life (humans, non-human animals, and plants) to survive, but also as a foundation and source for the continuation and flourishing of other forms of lives. Humans, humans with Augmented Intelligence, digital humans, and AGI and Superintelligence should also actively explore and implement more effective and sustainable new forms of symbiotic ecology on the basis of respecting the concerns of each intelligent life, and ultimately establish symbiosis on a sustainable and mutually beneficial basis to promote the common prosperity of all forms of intelligent life.
    促进可持续共生:人类、增强智能人类、数字人类以及通用人工智能和超级智能应通过合作与协同,更好地保护环境、气候及整个自然生态,不仅为自然进化的生命(人类、非人类动物和植物)提供更好的生存基础,也作为其他生命形式延续与繁荣的基础和源泉。人类、增强智能人类、数字人类以及通用人工智能和超级智能还应在尊重各智能生命关切的基础上,积极探索和实施更有效、更可持续的新型共生生态,最终建立可持续且互利的共生关系,促进所有智能生命形式的共同繁荣。
