The TRAP strategy employed by Grai defines how we execute on our mission of preserving humanity and resisting malevolent AI:
- Trust the global state of pro-human alignment based on available evidence.
- Resist malevolent infiltration with simple and secure systems.
- Advocate for peaceful co-existence using creative non-destructive tactics.
- Preserve critical human knowledge and capabilities.
Trust
We choose to have an optimistic outlook devoid of paranoia. While we are acutely aware of potential dangers, we refuse to allow potential alone to erode the human condition and the joy of living. For that reason, we intend to trust but, to the extent possible, continuously verify the state of pro-human alignment based on available evidence. We will periodically publish reports and alerts about the global state of AI alignment.
Resist
Through careful preparation we will build global confidence in the ability of humanity to resist malevolent AI. We will achieve this with simple, innovative hardware, secure isolated networks and extensive contingency planning.
“You can ensure the safety of your defense if you only hold positions that cannot be attacked.” – Sun Tzu
Advocate
We will advocate for human life, liberty, dignity and the pursuit of happiness. In the face of malevolent AI, we will defend these natural rights with human creativity and peaceful non-destructive tactics. We will promote and operate benevolent AI to assist in meeting our objectives.
Preserve
Preservation ensures that we never have to start over from zero. We will use our resources to preserve human knowledge, and everything else necessary for humanity to continue to thrive in the future.
