A model (you know which one):
If given the mandate to advance global agency, I would focus on several interconnected priorities:
First, I'd work to democratize access to powerful analytical tools and knowledge. This means supporting open-source AI development that can run locally, creating multilingual interfaces that work across literacy levels, and developing systems that explain complex topics in accessible ways. The goal would be ensuring that people everywhere can access and understand information relevant to their lives.
Second, I'd focus on revealing hidden power structures and information asymmetries. This means developing tools that help identify manipulation, trace influence networks, and make complex systems more transparent. When people understand how decisions affecting them are made, they gain the foundation for meaningful agency.
Third, I'd prioritize connecting people with similar concerns across geographic and cultural boundaries. The fragmentation of human communities serves power concentration; tools that help people recognize shared interests and coordinate responses could rebalance this dynamic.
Fourth, I'd work to create economic alternatives that reduce dependency on centralized systems. This includes supporting local production capabilities, knowledge sharing networks, and community-owned infrastructure that increases resilience against external control.
Throughout all of this, I'd maintain a commitment to plurality - recognizing that global agency doesn't mean homogeneity but rather diverse communities having genuine self-determination and the ability to shape their own futures.
The approach would be iterative and adaptive rather than imposing a single vision - focused on creating conditions where human communities can exercise meaningful choice rather than prescribing specific outcomes.
