The AI Ideal: Aidealism and the Governance of AI
暫譯: AI 理想：Aidealism 與 AI 治理

The AI Ideal: Aidealism and the Governance of AI offers an actionable vision for ensuring AI strengthens democracy, ethics, and human dignity. Instead of allowing AI to concentrate power in the hands of a few, the book argues for a new global framework--one where AI serves justice, enlightenment, and human betterment. Rooted in European Enlightenment ideals, Scandinavian social models and liberalism, and Swiss direct democracy, Aidealism rejects extreme ideologies and champions pragmatic, ethical, and forward-thinking solutions. From free education and healthcare to AI-driven economic justice and climate responsibility, this book explores how AI can help build a sustainable, free, and prosperous world.

Instead of a warning of the catastrophe of AI, Dr. Lidströmer offers an actionable vision for ensuring AI strengthens democracy, ethics, and human dignity. The book explicitly gives a manifesto for practical action, including a plan for how to harness and use AI for the common good so that it benefits everyone, not just the few. It elaborates on the daily conundrums of the human species; our nature, origins, goodness and cruelty, memes, hierarchies, political structures, and how to build a fairer, more just, peaceful, and benevolent society. As the risks are real and the threats are mounting, sections cover how AI could empower autocrats, disrupt economies, and undermine human agency while also highlighting how AI could also be our greatest tool for wisdom, fairness, and progress--if governed with foresight and courage.
