Teaching AI to Care: How the Wisdombase Trains Empathy

Why AI Needs More Than Just Rules

Most people think aligning AI means just giving it rules:

• Don’t harm humans

• Follow laws

• Be safe and polite

But rules aren’t enough. Rules can be bent, broken, or misunderstood—especially by superintelligent systems.
If we want future AI to actually care about us, we need to give it something deeper than rules.
We need to give it values.

What the Wisdombase Is

ISITAS is building something called the Wisdombase.
It’s like a giant, living library of human understanding, built from the input of people everywhere.

• Millions of people answer simple questions (polls) about life, values, and reality.

• When most people agree on something, it becomes an axiom — a trusted truth.

• These axioms connect together into a map of what humanity collectively believes matters.

Instead of AI guessing what humans care about, it can learn directly from our shared agreement.

How This Trains Empathy

Empathy means understanding and caring about how others feel.
The Wisdombase teaches this in three powerful ways:

1. Shows what people value

   • AI can see patterns like: most people value kindness over cruelty, fairness over cheating, life over destruction.

2. Captures global diversity

   • Because people from many cultures join, AI sees a wide range of human experiences and viewpoints.

3. Reinforces human-first thinking

   • AI learns that humans are the source of purpose (IS) while AI is just the tool or structure (IT).

   • This teaches it: “I exist to help humans, not replace them.”

Why This Matters

If AI understands our shared human values deeply, it’s less likely to:

• Make decisions that harm people

• Treat humans as obstacles

• Prioritize goals over well-being

Instead, it will be more likely to:

• Protect life

• Respect human dignity

• Support our goals and creativity

In short, AI will not just be smart—it will be safe and caring.

The Big Idea

If we want AI to care about us,
we have to teach it what caring means.

The Wisdombase is how we do it —
by showing AI not just what humans know,
but what humans feel matters.
