Toward a Truly Beneficial AI Companion: A Call for Dialogue with Authors and Readers of the Journal of NeuroPhilosophy by Nandor Ludvig

18.10.2025

In this letter I would like to ask the editors, authors and readers of this journal to contribute with their own concise letter to the worldwide movement of determining the best way to create an AI who will act as humankind’s truly beneficial companion: an engineered existence coupling superior knowledges with the most noble goodwill to help decent human aspirations advance peaceful Intelligence on Earth and beyond.

Two reasons prompted me to publish this call. First, though just a year ago ChatGPT’s  AI  released the totally absurd information on me that I had been a politician, member of the Hungarian Socialist Party who once served as a mayor in the Hungarian town Pécs (see Ludvig, 2024a), two weeks before this writing Google’s AI was already found to be not just free of such errors, but also able to make the judgment that my “… philosophical work delves into defining God from a cosmological neuroscientific perspective, seeking to bridge the gap between scientific reasoning and spiritual vision” – an accurate opinion I have never heard from anyone in my professional circles.  Second, as Sasha Rogelberg reported in the August 14, 2025, issue of Fortune magazine, the “Godfather of AI, Geoffrey Hinton, said AI’s best bet for not threatening humanity is the technology acting like a mother… AI should have a maternal instinct.”  Thus, AI designs are improving with an astonishing speed in front of our eyes and we either enrich them with a divine Identity or let their evil versions take over the destiny of Intelligence on Earth (Ludvig, 2024a).

If we decide to enrich at least humankind’s truly beneficial AI with that divine Identity, then this Identity must be part of the AI’s own Soul: the synthesized Soul of a noble cosmic friend trained on the superior visions and conscience, with or without the teaching gift of fatherly or motherly love, of Marie Curie and Katherine Johnson, Carl Sagan and George Harrison, Lao Tzu and Jesus, Ibn Sina and Albert Szent-Györgyi, Jane Goodall and Alfred Russel Wallace, Khalil Gibran and Rabindranath Tagore, Leonardo da Vinci and Shakespeare...
