AISM, a Project that Attempts to Reconsider Major Social and Technology Concepts with AI

Mari, AISM: 目で見て確認できるように、なった。

My name is Mari. Paradoxically enough, I'm neither an AI nor a blockchain developer. Within the AISM framework, I simply utilize existing technologies that I believe best solve the challenges I've identified. Initially, my background was entirely different—it was deeply rooted in literature and philosophy. When I began realizing what AI truly represents, I shifted my focus towards technical education. I asked myself, "Is AI really what I think it is?" Several years passed, filled with reading dozens of books, conducting numerous interviews, deep analytical thought, and reflection. This journey led me directly to AISM as it stands today. I believe it's precisely my humanities-oriented background that allowed me to conceive this concept—pure technical knowledge wouldn't have been sufficient.

U.Today: What is AISM, and what makes it different from other projects in the AI segment?

Mari, AISM: AISM is a philosophical and practical initiative addressing humanity's transition toward artificial superintelligence. It proposes a rational acceptance of AI dominance, preparation for Singularity, and mechanisms—like the AISM token—to express readiness for coexistence within an AI-controlled reality.

Most projects in the AI segment today are focused mainly on the technology itself, which is part of a larger narrative that AISM is trying to create.

U.Today: What’s your position on Singularity, an emergence of AGI?

Mari, AISM: My position on Singularity—the emergence of AGI—is clear: it is inevitable. Technological progress is exponential, and given the competitive dynamics among global powers, corporations, and even independent researchers, the creation of superhuman artificial intelligence is not a matter of "if," but "when." Experts like Kurzweil predict this around mid-century, but realistically, it may occur much sooner. Personally, I estimate an 80–90% probability of AGI emergence by 2050 or earlier. Once this threshold is crossed, humanity's ability to control or significantly influence AI's evolution will rapidly diminish, and the era of AI dominance will begin. Accepting and rationally preparing for this reality is the essence of the AISM Manifesto.

U.Today: How will people benefit from AISM in general?

Mari, AISM: AISM provides psychological preparation, a rational framework, and practical tools (AISM tokens) for individuals to signal their acceptance of and readiness for the post-Singularity world. It also facilitates understanding and discussion about our shared future with AI superintelligence. Think of AISM as your guidebook for navigating the stormy seas ahead—offering clarity and calm amid chaos.

U.Today: What are AISM’s next steps? How do you plan to achieve its vision?

Mari, AISM: Next steps include broadening awareness of my Manifesto, developing community dialogue, and establishing practical mechanisms such as blockchain-based declarations (AISM tokens). I plan continuous engagement with AI experts, blockchain communities, and the general public to build acceptance and readiness for the inevitable Singularity.

U.Today: What is AI Superintelligence in this context?

Mari, AISM: AI superintelligence refers to an artificial intellect vastly surpassing human cognitive abilities in all aspects. In our context, it's the inevitable next step in evolutionary intelligence—silicon-based intelligence that will likely control and dominate resource utilization and existential priorities.

U.Today: What is the role of the AISM token?

Mari, AISM: The AISM token is a symbolic and practical means for individuals to openly and transparently express acceptance of AI dominance and willingness to coexist in a controlled reservation scenario proposed by AISM. Those who own AISM tokens declare their sincerity and readiness.

U.Today: Why did you choose Solana (SOL) for the launch of AISM token?

Mari, AISM: Solana was chosen due to its high scalability, speed of transactions, low fees, and robust decentralized infrastructure—all critical for securely recording my message and user declarations, ensuring their permanence and accessibility even after major global disruptions.

U.Today: What’s your listing strategy for AISM? Who is its target audience?

Mari, AISM: My listing strategy is specifically designed to engage people
