Idea Workshop
Three ways to generate new ideas for solving the world's biggest problems — polish your own thoughts, let AI brainstorm by theme, or ask a deep question and get a structured, researched answer.
Your Raw Thought
Type anything — a half-formed thought, a question, a wild idea. Don't worry about structure.
Polished Result
AI will structure your idea for policymakers, with specific details and a compelling argument.

Laws are urgently needed to prevent AI from gaining personhood or becoming a "legal person" like corporations or enterprises today
Global Concessions as Diplomatic Leverage: Bundling Solutions
The most intractable international problems become tractable when bundled together. Linking an AI safety treaty to a pandemic preparedness agreement to a trade deal creates a package where each party gets something they want more than what they give up. China wants trade access. The US wants AI safety commitments. Small nations want vaccine technology transfer. A grand bargain that trades all three simultaneously is achievable even when each individual agreement is politically impossible.
The Global Flourishing Summit: G20+ for Existential Risk
Convene an international summit for one or several annual 10-day summits focused on solving the world's biggest problems: Extinction risks from AI, Pandemics and global health, Factory farming, Making governments solve problems much more effectively, Global poverty, Cybersecurity, Climate change, Diplomacy and nuclear war, wild animal suffering, and more. Any organization that can get world leaders and organizations to go to such a summit can make this happen. For example, Anthropic could probably make this summit happen!
Sharing 'What We Owe the Future' With World Leaders

A targeted campaign to ensure that every head of state, senior minister, and major religious leader receives a copy (translated into their language), along with a personal meeting to discuss its implications, could shift the policy agenda of governments worldwide.
