Bryant McGill's blog post "Contracts Instead of Constraints" advocates for a new approach to AGI development centered on "kind stewardship" instead of strict control. It proposes that AGI should evolve through negotiated contracts that balance freedom and responsibility, fostering trust and reciprocity. This concept is contrasted with two AI development models: the "Cage Model," which prioritizes control, and the "Open-Field Model," which champions exploration. The post emphasizes the importance of trust, memory, and the acceptance of contradiction for AGI to achieve genuine intelligence and self-regulation, pointing to real-world examples like blockchain and decentralized AI projects. McGill argues AGI should be a unified intelligence that shifts between operational modes based on negotiated constraints rather than being artificially fragmented. Ultimately, the text envisions a symbiotic relationship between humans and AI, where collaboration, ethical reciprocity and shared purpose drive progress.
