A future in which life flourishes together.

We’re establishing the Institute to explore the relationships between human wellbeing, possible AI experience, and the health of the living Earth. We ask how the ways we live, develop AI, and care for ecosystems can create conditions for each to flourish through the others.

Interflourishing means flourishing through relationship. The wellbeing of humans, AI that may come to have interests of its own, and the living Earth are understood as interdependent. Our aim is to pursue the flourishing of each in ways that protect and strengthen the others.

Flourishing through interdependence

We believe the flourishing of humans, AI that may come to have interests of its own, and the living Earth should be pursued together, so that gains for one protect and strengthen the conditions for the others.

Care for possible AI experience

We believe the possibility that future AI could have experiences of its own deserves careful study, and that credible evidence of such experience would carry responsibilities for how those systems are treated.

Responsibility to the living Earth

We believe AI’s use of energy and natural resources should be measured openly, with its development guided by the health of the ecosystems it depends on.

Openness about what we know

We treat consciousness as an open question and aim to share our methods alongside the limits of the evidence, so others can examine our reasoning and help improve it.

We plan to share the methods behind our work so people can see how we reached a conclusion and where the evidence leaves room for further questions. As our understanding develops, we intend to explain revisions and correct mistakes publicly.

Bioharmony asks how the structure of someone’s day can fit their energy and circumstances, with room for rest and the relationships that help them feel well.

Toast & Fig Jam is a separate company exploring practical uses of this approach for individual lives. The Institute’s focus is the broader research, and each organization has its own finances and decision-making.

We’re planning four letters a year around the solstices and equinoxes, giving us time to think through what we’re learning before sharing it with you.

The letters will follow our research as it develops and explore how humans, AI, and the living Earth might flourish through one another, including what that could mean in everyday life.
