“How we can win together in the age of AI by loving machines so they will love us,” authored by Pax Technologica Founders Thomas Ermacora and Paul Hughes, is the inaugural essay in the Pax Technologica Essay Series. This collection aims to explore the intersection of exponential technologies, ethics, and cultural evolution with a special focus on emerging geographies.

Rooted in a commitment to fostering an equitable technological future, the essay advocates for reframing the human-technology relationship. It emphasizes technology’s potential to empower communities, promote peace, and enhance human dignity while addressing risks such as inequality and over-commercialization. By weaving stories of technological transformation, it argues for ethical frameworks to guide AI adoption and ensure inclusivity. The series aspires to spark dialogue and inspire action, particularly in the Global South, where the fusion of cultural context and innovation can shape a sustainable future for all.

The Pax Technologica Policy Document outlines the organization’s vision for fostering a harmonious relationship between humanity and technology, particularly artificial intelligence, in the Global South. The focus is on creating inclusive and contextually relevant policies that empower communities, promote peace, and preserve cultural integrity while addressing risks like inequality and environmental degradation. Key initiatives include the establishment of a Policy Intelligence Unit to guide ethical technology adoption, learn from global leaders, and develop adaptable policies. The document emphasizes collaboration, co-creation, and long-term capacity-building to ensure technology serves as a catalyst for positive transformation.
