IA. OUR LAST CREATION? Twelve Threats to Humanity and the Global Rules We Need Now

What if artificial intelligence is not humanity's greatest invention-but its last? Artificial intelligence is advancing faster than governments can regulate it, institutions can understand it, or societies can prepare for its consequences. It is already emerging through autonomous weapons, engineered pathogens, cyberwarfare, mass surveillance, deepfakes, political manipulation, automated discrimination, and the displacement of human labor. In IA: Our Last Creation?, Isaac Volpe examines twelve interconnected threats that could undermine democracy, freedom, security-and humanity's ability to control its own future. This is not merely another warning about artificial intelligence. It is a call for coordinated global action. Drawing on technological developments, historical precedents, political failures, and the insights of leading thinkers, Volpe explains why national regulations alone cannot control a technology that instantly crosses borders. The book culminates in A Draft Global Compact for Artificial Intelligence: fifteen proposed articles addressing licensing, capability thresholds, independent inspections, compute monitoring, incident reporting, privacy protections, sanctions, appeals, and strictly limited emergency powers. The question is no longer whether artificial intelligence will transform civilization. It is whether humanity will remain in command of that transformation. Yoüll find inside: - Why increasingly capable AI systems may pursue objectives their creators never intended- How the international race for AI dominance encourages companies and nations to sacrifice safety- Why autonomous weapons could make warfare faster, cheaper, and harder to control- How AI could magnify biological threats, cyberattacks, surveillance, and political manipulation- Why deepfakes and personalized propaganda could destroy the foundations of democratic debate- How automated decisions can perpetuate discrimination while concealing responsibility- What mass automation could mean for employment, inequality, human purpose, and independence- Why voluntary corporate promises and fragmented national laws are insufficient- How licensing, inspections, capability thresholds, and compute monitoring could work- What an enforceable Global Compact for Artificial Intelligence should contain The future of intelligence is being created now. The rules governing it must be created just as quickly.
