The Alignment Interviews

Ask Humanity

Humanity's answers for the age of AGI.

Ask Humanity asks the same 20 questions to everyone — scientists, artists, founders, teachers, neighbours — and listens carefully to the answers. It is the public face of The Alignment Interviews, a project of the AGI Future Foundation.

The answers will build a dataset called The Human GraphPlanned — it does not exist yet. The ambition is to ask 10,000 people; that is a goal, not a count of answers received. The sameness is the method: the same questions, in the same words, so that answers from very different lives can sit side by side and be compared.

How to answer

Answer right here, one question at a time. Pick any questions you like, in any order — the starred ★ questions are the Top 10 core set if you want a shorter path. Write as much as you like — there are no length limits. Where your browser allows it, you can also speak your answer with the microphone button and watch it turn into text.

Your answers save automatically as a draft on this device as you type, so you can leave and come back later — nothing is uploaded while you write. When you are finished, the review screen composes an email to [email protected] with your answers; plainly, email is the current way in. If you would like to answer in your own voice, you may attach an audio or video recording to that email. Answer anonymously, or claim as much or as little identity as you like. You are also welcome to suggest new questions.
