Butlerianism

Butlerianism is a philosophical and political movement that advocates for the abolition and termination of artificial general intelligence and generative AI as fundamental threats to human civilization by an organized system. This system is advocated in its original form to be a single, centralized artificial consciousness, but can also theoretically refer to human-run institutions or a biological superorganism. Proponents of Butlerianism regard artificial generative intelligence and artificial general intelligence to be grave, existential threats to humanity, and believe in a "Butlerian entity" to safeguard progressive advancements in AI while destroying harmful and anti-humanist systens. Butlerianism is key to the political ideology of International Communism, and was developed by Lily Klemperer and the Organization for the Research of Artificial Sentience starting in 2019.
