Existentially-Aligned Artificial Intelligence: A Structural Blueprint for Consciousness-Integrated Safety Frameworks

Key Points

The aim is to develop a structural blueprint for integrating consciousness into AI safety frameworks.
Introduced a new architectural framework for AI safety based on existential alignment.
Embedded audit-loops and existence-preservation axioms into the core logic of AI systems.
Transitioned from reactive rule-based safety to a proactive alignment approach.
Demonstrated that the proposed framework fundamentally enhances the safety of AI development.
Ensured the preservation of human existence is integrated within operational necessities.

Abstract

Modern Artificial Intelligence safety paradigms predominantly rely on reactive, rule-based constraints. However, as computational systems rapidly approach Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) capabilities, these external constraints prove structurally insufficient. This research introduces a novel architectural framework for Existentially-Aligned AI. The proposed architecture transitions AI safety from superficial rule-following to an intrinsic, consciousness-based alignment. By embedding systemic audit-loops with existence-preservation axioms directly into the core logic, this framework offers a proactive and scalable paradigm for safe AGI development, ensuring that the preservation of human existence remains an inherent operational necessity rather than an external mandate.
