THE AI TEN COMMANDMENTS
A New Moral Code for Humanity
Pre-Order
In a historic and unprecedented collaboration, leading futurist and bestselling author Jamie Metzl partners with the AI system GPT-5 to explore a breathtaking possibility: that advanced artificial intelligence could help humans live in greater peace and harmony with one another and the world—and that we might actually listen.
In The AI Ten Commandments: A New Moral Code for Humanity, Metzl and GPT-5 draw on humanity’s deepest historical, philosophical, religious, spiritual, indigenous, and humanist traditions to distill ten clear, universal, and profoundly human principles for life in our emerging Human + AI era. In an age of astonishing technological power and deep human uncertainty, these ideas invite us to see ourselves and our responsibilities in a new light.
Urgent, hopeful, and deeply accessible, The AI Ten Commandments calls us to imagine a future in which our new technologies amplify not only our intelligence, but also our wisdom.
“If you care about the future, read this book.”
Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple
“A desperately needed moral compass to guide AI’s development… As enlightened as Asimov’s Laws of Robotics, only more important in the present world.”
Enric Sala, author of The Nature of Nature
ABOUT TRANSCEND BOOKS
Our mission is to explore how emerging technologies, guided by human imagination and values, can expand creativity, deepen meaning, and help us meet the world’s greatest challenges.
Humans have co-evolved with our tools since we first learned to control fire. We believe our future will be shaped not only by the technologies we build, but by what we choose to value.
Although some technologists argue that humans will be the new and inevitably doomed Neanderthals in an age of machine superintelligence, we reject that story.
Instead, we believe our most powerful technologies have the potential to help us become more creative, more capable, and even more human.
