用幸福度指标评估AI,看它是否真正让人类和地球变更好。

Optimising for Flourishing: Flourishing Metrics and Return on Flourishing as Success Criteria for Artificial Intelligence and Post-AGI Economic Systems

  • 构建涵盖身心、情感、环境等维度的幸福度评估框架。
  • 提出'幸福回报率',量化AI投入对福祉的实际贡献。
  • 适合关注可持续发展的政策制定者与AI伦理研究者。

当前人工智能评估体系主要关注能力、安全及采纳、参与度、效率、生产力和财务回报等代理指标,这些标准必要但不足,无法判断日益强大的系统是否提升或损害人类与地球福祉。本文通过概念整合,主张将人类幸福作为人工智能、全球智能竞赛以及后超人工智能经济系统的核心成功标准。我们提出三项贡献:第一,幸福度指标(Flourishing Metrics)是一个可扩展的框架,涵盖身体、情绪、财务、关系、精神与行星福祉,融合经验证的主观测量与代表性行为、组织、社区及环境指标;第二,幸福回报率(Return on Flourishing, RoF)扩展了投资回报概念,评估干预措施、政策与AI系统相对于资源、风险与机会成本对幸福的反事实贡献;第三,设计了分配敏感的保障机制,并展示如何通过商业试点应用RoF指导AI驱动的工作重塑、机构评估、保证与部署后监测。我们将幸福定义为动态系统变量,强调民主化界定、实证校准、独立验证,以及对特定维度或利益相关群体不可接受损失的保护。RoF并非普适奖励函数,而是价值核算与决策架构,用于判断智能、自动化与经济转型是否带来持久的人类与地球进步。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Current evaluation frameworks for artificial intelligence focus mainly on capability, safety, and proxies such as adoption, engagement, efficiency, productivity, and financial return. These criteria are necessary but insufficient because they do not establish whether increasingly powerful systems improve or degrade human and planetary well-being. Through an integrative conceptual synthesis, we argue that human flourishing should serve as a primary success criterion for artificial intelligence, the global race to develop increasingly capable AI systems, and prospective post-AGI economic systems. We make three contributions. First, Flourishing Metrics provides an extensible framework spanning physical, emotional, financial, relational, spiritual, and planetary well-being, combining validated subjective measures with representative behavioural, organisational, community, and environmental indicators. Second, Return on Flourishing (RoF) extends return on investment by evaluating the counterfactual contribution of interventions, policies, and AI systems to flourishing relative to their resources, risks, and opportunity costs. Third, we develop distribution-sensitive safeguards and show how RoF could guide AI-enabled work redesign, institutional appraisal, assurance, and post-deployment monitoring through business pilots. We formalise flourishing as a dynamic system variable while emphasising the need for democratic specification, empirical calibration, independent validation, and protection against unacceptable losses within particular dimensions or stakeholder groups. RoF is proposed not as a universal reward function, but as a value-accounting and decision architecture for assessing whether intelligence, automation, and economic transformation generate durable human and planetary progress.
