Cultivating the value system for Human-AI Coevolution
The first youth-led organization to advocate for and execute the Human-AI Coevolution and the "Rehumanization Movement".
Advocating the growth of "Poiesis" as humanness and role, preserving dignity and ethics through normalization of Human-In-The-Loop, and contributing to the macro-sociological governance for peace and Human-AI coevolution.
Creating Human values and sociopolitical vision for society to coexist with AGI/ASI:
We combine these disciplines to derive conclusions, reason, and pursue activism: AI/Computer Science, Sociology, Politics, Ethics, and Philosophy
AI is on its extremely speedy, adventurous ride. The world's current endeavor to rapidly advance a new type of intelligence and compete with other companies and countries leads to perpetual innovation and breakthroughs. Still, it poses a significant risk of misleading humanity to an irreversible, catastrophic outcome in many domains through the loss of humanness, human roles, and clarity in the progress.
The current misaligned AI progress and neglect of societal, value-related development make us very vulnerable and unprepared in a society in which almost all labor will be able to be replaced by "superhuman" AI models. In a world where, from a provincial and short-sighted economic standpoint, humans are negligible and seemingly unimportant, how can we make sure we stay important and human, if not more human and flourishing than ever before?
That is why we, a group of purely passion-driven students, decided to take action in making a significant, palpable impact on society by elevating the underrepresented future vision of Human-AI coevolution and Rehumanization (= advocacy of human values and roles in the AI age & encouraging Human-In-The-Loop mandation).
In fact, the goal of YAFI is to initiate an intellectual movement that establishes a collective consciousness (=awareness and consensus) on the importance of critical human values and human dignity/worth in our AI contributed society and emphasize the need for serious AI politics and human peace making. Since we know that if no values are cultivated, no new societal adaptations are made, humans don't enlighten, and remain stagnant in a world of AI-induced change and civilizational shift, human dignity will be lost, humans will likely be excluded from societal growth and collaboration with AI, and lose control, which raise serious concerns of safety, ethics, sustainability of AI, and possible intense backlashes that could have been mitigated when we had prepared the values and necessary sociopolitical progresses.
Just like how democracy was exemplified and prevailed, the road paving for the optimal, enjoyable, and "human" future with AI can only be created through the attention, efforts, and contributions of many in a variety of ways. And we can and will no longer wait. Time is running, and AI technology is advancing, so if nobody is going to do it, we are. - YAFI Team

Approaches
Researches, articles, and papers
Papers and articles providing novel ideas on humanness and considerations on AI's ethical and societal implications.
Short-form, semi-formal research papers and insights, to make this field accessible, well-articulated, and engaging.
Our goal is to interview and spread the knowledge and insights of leading experts in the field of AI. We aim to highlight questions that aren't being raised enough, such as topics of human-AI coevolution and humanness, to enable widespread, credible awareness of this field and to justify the growing need for active discussion.
Interviews and expert insights
We aim to build projects that establish collective conscience/consciousness. To exemplify the ethical beliefs and societal visions of YAFI, we must build projects that exemplify these 4 factors: Raising awareness, education, public participation, global recognition in academia and governance.
