# Human Flourishing Axiom

This guest opinion piece by Po-Shen Loh, published on Terence Tao's blog, proposes that the mathematics community and all industries should publicly adopt the axiom 'We (humans) should help humanity flourish,' and argues from it that further AI advance will create more high-skill human oversight jobs than there are people to fill them, eventually forcing AI progress to slow; it also discusses how pure mathematics contributes to human flourishing and what practical changes adopting the axiom might bring.
