Welcome to Stampy's Wiki, the editor's hub for open effort to build a comprehensive FAQ about artificial intelligence existential safety—the field trying to make sure that when we build superintelligent artificial systems they are aligned with human values so that they do things compatible with our survival and flourishing.

We're also building a cleaner web UI for readers and a bot interface. Feel free to get involved as an early contributor!
