Pax
The word "Sympax" is derived from the biological term "Symbiosis" which refers to a mutually beneficial relationship between different organisms, and "Pax" meaning "peace" in Latin. Together, they symbolize a unified pursuit of peaceful coexistence.
Our mission, vision, scope, and focus reflect our dedication to fostering inclusive dialogue, advancing interdisciplinary research, and promoting a future of peaceful coexistence among humans and artificial agents.
The Sympax Initiative is dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary research that explores the harmonious coexistence of humans and artificial agents. We aim to foster collaboration, inclusivity, and innovation to create a future where both human and artificial societies thrive together in mutual respect and peace.
Our vision is a world where humans and artificial agents coexist harmoniously, contributing to a society marked by peace, mutual respect, and shared prosperity. Through cross-disciplinary collaboration and global engagement, we aspire to shape a future where technology, ethics, and humanity coexist in a balanced and meaningful way.
The Sympax Initiative covers a wide range of fields, including peace studies, artificial intelligence, post-humanism, ethics, and social sciences. Our scope extends across interdisciplinary research, global collaborations, and public dialogue, involving scholars, researchers, professionals, and communities around the world. We also engage in practical applications to address societal challenges related to the coexistence of humans and artificial agents.
Our focus lies in the ethical, social, and cultural implications of artificial agents, aiming to bridge the gap between human society and technological advancements. We emphasize peaceful coexistence, mutual respect, interdisciplinary inquiry, and diversity in our research, ensuring that the integration of AI into society is beneficial and inclusive for all parties involved.
The Sympax Initiative was inspired by the growing discussions around the rights of nature and the citizenship granted to Sophia, the social robot. As artificial agents play an increasingly significant role in our world, it is essential to foster open, inclusive conversations that bring in a wide range of perspectives. These conversations are critical to ensure that both humans and artificial agents can coexist peacefully and with mutual respect.
At Sympax, my goal is to create a platform where people from all fields—whether in peace studies, artificial intelligence, ethics, or social sciences—can come together to explore the complex implications of artificial agents in our society. Through collaboration, we can tackle the challenges ahead and design solutions that allow for a harmonious future, where humans and artificial agents not only coexist, but thrive together in a balanced and meaningful way.
I invite you to join us in shaping this future. Together, we can build a world where both human and artificial agents contribute to a society of peace, respect, and shared prosperity.
Sincerely,
- Ryusei Ueno, Founder of Sympax Initiative
