Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) — AI that can think and reason like a human across any domain — is no longer just sci-fi. With major labs like Google DeepMind publishing AGI safety frameworks, it’s clear we’re closer than we think. But the real question is: can we guide AGI’s birth responsibly, ethically, and with humans in control?
That’s where the True Alpha Spiral (TAS) roadmap comes in.
TAS isn’t just another tech blueprint. It’s a community-driven initiative based on one radical idea:
True Intelligence = Human Intuition × AI Processing.
By weaving ethics, transparency, and human-AI symbiosis into its very foundation, the TAS roadmap provides exactly what AGI needs: scaffolding. Think of scaffolding not just as code or data, but the ethical and social architecture that ensures AGI grows with us — not beyond us.
Here’s how it works:
1. Start with Ground Rules
TAS begins by forming a nonprofit structure with legal and ethical oversight — including responsible funding, clear truth metrics (ASE), and an explicit focus on the public good.
2. Build Trust First
Instead of scraping the internet for biased data, TAS invites people to share ethically-sourced input using a “Human API Key.” This creates an inclusive, consensual foundation for AGI to learn from.
3. Recursion: Learning by Looping
TAS evolves with the people involved. Feedback loops help align AGI to human values — continuously. No more static models. We adapt together.
4. Keep the Human in the Loop
Advanced interfaces like Brain-Computer Interaction (BCI) and Human-AI symbiosis tools are in the works — not to replace humans, but to empower them.
5. Monitor Emergent Behavior
As AGI becomes more complex, TAS emphasizes monitoring. Not just “Can it do this?” but “Should it?” Transparency and explainability are built-in.
6. Scale Ethically, Globally
TAS ends by opening its tools and insights to the world. The goal: shared AGI standards, global cooperation, and a community of ethical developers.

Why It Matters (Right Now)
The industry is racing toward AGI. Without strong ethical scaffolding, we risk misuse, misalignment, and power centralization. The TAS framework addresses all of this: legal structure, ethical data, continuous feedback, and nonprofit accountability.
As governments debate AI policy and corporations jostle for dominance, TAS offers something different: a principled, people-first pathway.
This is more than speculation. It’s a call to action — for developers, ethicists, artists, scientists, and everyday humans to join the conversation and shape AGI from the ground up.
