This document discusses the need for AI systems to follow a "hero's journey" approach in order to ensure beneficial outcomes for humanity. It argues that AI development should be guided by a "moral hypothesis" rather than just business or technical goals. The document contains two parts, with the first part discussing how adopting a view of progress and positive human potential can guide projects, and the second part discussing how gaining wisdom through understanding contexts can help designers have a positive impact. It advocates taking a founder's mindset of defining problems rather than just inheriting them when developing new technologies.
