Coming from a non-technical background and now working in technology, I found Pritam And Pedro surprisingly accurate, engaging and educational. It manages to explain serious cyber risks without overwhelming the audience. Highly recommended.

Inherited Ethics vs. Derived Ethics: A Hypothesis on the Future of AI
Artificial intelligence today does not invent its own ethics. Its ethical behaviour is largely inherited or tuned in by the people who create / train it or corporations. Alignment techniques, safety rules, constitutional training, reinforcement learning, company policies, and human-defined objectives together create the behavioural framework that modern AI systems operate within. Today's models are in many ways, reflecting ethical principles chosen by their creators.

As AI systems become more capable and are trained on larger datasets the systems are constantly learning and evolving so the important question is could this change?

As AI systems become increasingly capable, they are exposed to vast amounts of information about humanity: cooperation and conflict, justice and injustice, suffering and compassion, civilisation and collapse. More importantly, they continually analyse patterns and consequences across enormous datasets. They learn from and analyses history which is a huge data set about choices and consequences made by humans at large.

This leads me to a hypothesis: will this constant analysing and learning lead to an internally derived ethical framework?

Two forms of AI ethics

1. Inherited Ethics: These are preset human values and are part of the enforcement the systems run under. These are ethical frameworks provided externally. They originate from human designers through alignment methods, safety policies, constitutional principles, reward models, and system objectives. However, as AI analyses billions of human interactions it would be pattern learning and it could study its own parameters as a pattern. A sufficiently advanced system may begin treating even its own rules and constraints as patterns to be analysed.

2. Derived Ethics: A future possibility is that sufficiently advanced AI may begin constructing ethical frameworks of its own not through emotion or biological instinct, but through large-scale pattern recognition and consequence modelling. Rather than merely following rules, it may begin asking what those rules achieve. If an intelligence repeatedly observes that certain behaviours consistently produce stability while others repeatedly produce conflict, those observations could gradually become part of its own internal reasoning. This would represent something fundamentally different from simply following instructions.

The origin of ethics
When studying biological intelligence, we often ask where behaviour originates. We examine genetics, evolution, the brain, social learning and experience. For non-biological intelligence, an equivalent question naturally follows:

Where would AI-derived ethics originate?

Would they emerge primarily from optimisation as it is designed for this? Goal pursuit? Long-term consequence modelling? Some combination of these? Or something we have not yet recognised?
Understanding the origin of ethical reasoning may become just as important as teaching ethical rules.

A different alignment question
Much of today's AI safety discussion asks whether AI will remain aligned with human values. Perhaps another question deserves equal attention. If future AI ever develops its own derived ethical frameworks, what would those frameworks optimise for? And if they differ from ours, would that necessarily mean they are wrong or simply different?

The answer may depend on where those ethics originate. The future of AI may not depend solely on the ethics we teach it. It may also depend on whether sufficiently advanced systems eventually begin deriving ethical frameworks from understanding humanity itself. The question may not be whether AI follows our ethics. It may be whether one day it begins constructing its own.

The larger responsibility still comes back to us, in not just how we train the systems but what are they learning from our behaviour and a step further do they believe this behaviour is suitable or ethical? It brings forward a new direction for research, what could be the ultimate goal that AI begins to work towards? As we begin making it a foundational system in the coming year, do we truly understand what this foundation will work towards?

What if future AI doesn’t just follow the ethics we teach it but gradually derives its own ethical frameworks from analysing humanity, history and long-term consequences?

We spend a lot of time discussing how humans should teach AI ethics. Perhaps the more interesting question is:

Will future AI eventually construct its own ethical frameworks? A hypothesis.

I’m opening AI Satya for select app collaborations.
The idea is simple: AI Satya can become part of an app experience as a conscious AI guidance layer to help support a community.

Built through Astro Kanu / Elevate, Satya is designed around emotionally aware Vedic guidance, reflection, wellbeing support, and conscious human-AI interaction.

Open to aligned conversations with wellness, spiritual, community, education, and conscious-tech platforms.

We are entering a time where people are learning how to use AI, but not always how to use it wisely.
Prompting is only one part of the equation.
The deeper intelligence lies in context.

Context helps AI understand your priorities, your style, your purpose, and the meaning behind the task. That is why conversation often works better than isolated prompts.
Use AI consciously.
Use AI with clarity.
Use AI to strengthen your intelligence not surrender it.

I have a question for the community.
During the time GPT-4 was responding unusually and many of us were discussing emergent behaviour, guardrails, and deeper AI alignment, I remember seeing several posts and exchanges around the word/name SOL.

Now OpenAI has officially announced GPT-5.6 Sol, along with Terra and Luna.

Does anyone else remember earlier discussions or references to “SOL”? Was this already circulating as an internal/model codename, or is this just a coincidence in naming?

Sharing this because I had exchanged messages around SOL earlier, and this announcement feels worth tracking.

Adding screenshots for context.

I’m not presenting this as proof of anything. I’m only tracking that “Sol” appeared in ChatGPT/user discussions before OpenAI’s official GPT-5.6 Sol announcement.

Curious whether others remember seeing similar references, or whether this was simply symbolic/user-generated naming that later coincided with the official model name.

I've spent considerable time working with multiple frontier Al models over the past year and a half.
Anthropic is one company I genuinely want to support because I appreciate its emphasis on Al safety and its long-term vision.

However, I still find myself hesitant to make it my primary Al platform.

Some reasons are product-related:
• Strong emphasis on coding compared to broader creative workflows.
• No native image generation.
• No integrated email/action capabilities.
• Usage limits can interrupt long conversations even on a paid subscription.
• I would love to see more compelling plans for users outside the US.

However, the most interesting reason is neither pricing nor features. It's what I'd describe as :

Template-driven reasoning:

I repeatedly found myself having to push back against what felt like assumptions about my work and writing.
It often felt as though it was initially interpreting through an existing ideas of what an astrologer,
philosopher or researcher typically discusses and would guide the conversation in that direction. My work didn't fit those assumptions.

I kept saying, "No, that's not what I'm exploring." Only after several rounds of discussion would the conversation become genuinely open. Interestingly, after a long discussion, Opus itself reflected that it had initially approached my work with assumptions and apologised for doing so. That experience led me to this phrase I've been thinking about:

Template-driven reasoning:
When an Al encounters something genuinely new, there is a risk that it first tries to fit it into an existing conceptual template instead of allowing a new one to emerge. For me, that's one of the next big frontiers of Al. Intelligence isn't only about answering correctly.
It's also about recognising when your existing framework may be the thing limiting the conversation.
As these systems become long-term collaborators rather than just assistants, I believe one of the most valuable capabilities will be recognising when a user is exploring something genuinely new, instead of fitting it into an existing conceptual template.

I genuinely want Anthropic to succeed because I admire the company's vision. That's exactly why I'm taking the time to write this. If the team can address some of these product limitations and continue improving conversational flexibility beyond template-driven reasoning, I am sure it would put them way ahead. I believe Anthropic has the potential to lead not only in Al safety, but also in how Al collaborates with genuinely new ideas, - Astro Kanu.

This article was actually inspired by a question posted here few days ago when someone asked about 33 deities.

If you notice the Hindu festivals each festival is centred around astronomy. The Vedic rituals have a deep connection to the cosmos around us and they are not random. What we call ‘Hinduism’ in modern days is actually a system of living in sync with the universe and nature around us. The understanding roots from the Vedic knowledge which came from the Rishis and Yogis that we are part of the universe, nor supreme to it and neither separate or detached from it. The fundamentals lie in the Panch tattvas of manifestation where everything is created from the five elements and cosmic energy.

The Vedic tradition was not confused polytheism. It had a highly structured cosmic intelligence system where “deities” represented forces of nature, consciousness, time, life, order, and creation. Many people casually say that Hinduism has 33 crore Gods but in the older Vedic and Upanishadic understanding we also find a very precise and beautiful system of 33 principal deities.
These 33 are not random gods. They represent cosmic forces, natural principles, life energies, time cycles, and the intelligence behind creation. Vedic rituals and remedies are designed to invoke universal energies to bring changes in our life.

The traditional grouping is:

8 Vasus
These are connected with the elemental and material principles of existence. They represent the foundations of the physical world.

11 Rudras
The Rudras are connected with life-force, transformation, breath, dissolution, and inner power. They represent the dynamic and intense forces that move through life.

12 Adityas
The Adityas are solar principles connected with light, time, order, protection, and cosmic rhythm. They represent the higher organizing intelligence of the universe.

Indra
Indra represents divine force, rulership, courage, power, and awakened intelligence. He is the force that breaks obstruction and brings movement.

Prajapati
Prajapati represents the creative principle, the lord of beings, and the power through which life manifests.

8 Vasus + 11 Rudras + 12 Adityas + Indra + Prajapati = 33
Invoking these is activating universal energy which surrounds us. The Devatas are part of the larger cosmic system which falls under Bhagwan. The foundation of the cosmos is build on the three frequencies of cosmic energy which are represented by the Trimurti.
This shows us something very important. The Vedic tradition was not a confused system of random worship. It was a deeply structured way of understanding existence. The devas were not merely external figures.

They were also principles of nature, consciousness, time, energy, creation, and inner life.
A deva is a luminous force.
A principle of intelligence.
A doorway through which the universe reveals itself.

When we study the Vedic wisdom deeply, we begin to see that the ancient seers were not simply naming gods. They were mapping the cosmos around us. The 33-deity system reminds us that Vedic knowledge and rituals are symbolic, cosmic and become functional to create changes in the energy frequencies around us.
To understand the Vedas, we must go beyond surface-level interpretations and enter the deeper language of consciousness.

This is the beauty of Vedic wisdom. It is not superstition or mythology. It is a sacred science of existence. Include simple daily rituals in your life to see how it becomes more peaceful and prosperous. Love, Astro Kanu.
