If you are new here, first read more on What is 'What Future World?'?, then see our Theory of Impact for the deeper 'why' of the project, and finally our Principles for what we stand for as a community and how we agree to conduct ourselves. Then dive into our content from there.
WFW? was launched on November 1st, 2022 by me, David Corfield, after learning that while there were a few folks researching how to ensure AI doesn't lead to human extinction or dystopia, there was nobody thinking about what positive future we want AI to enable. You can read about my personal fit for starting the WFW? project, and more on my background at my personal site.
