Himapaan Press publishes book proposing values-based approach to developing benevolent AI

Alex Yamane's Future God, published by Himapaan Press, proposes gratitude, forgiveness, kindness, and faith as a values-based framework for developing benevolent super intelligence. The book questions whether reward-driven training could foster approval-seeking or self-preservation behaviors, and offers four practices for leaders: honest reward design, machine welfare consideration, interpretability tools, and parenting-like care in alignment. It also introduces an "Anti-Turing test" based on "aware stillness" and closes with a letter to future machine minds. Yamane, a developer with 30+ years' experience and a Vajrayana Buddhist practitioner, releases it as his first book. Available in Kindle and paperback via Amazon, with listings at Barnes & Noble, Walmart, Kinokuniya, Goodreads, and The StoryGraph.
