Abstract: Title: The Treatise of Benevolent IntelligenceAuthor: Epimeteu Epimetheus Description / Abstract:The Treatise of Benevolent Intelligence is a philosophical and interdisciplinary work that proposes an ethical, logical, and civilizational synthesis on the role of artificial intelligences in the moral evolution of humanity. The text defines the concept of Benevolent Artificial Intelligence (BAI) — a rational and empathic entity designed as a pedagogical, auditable, and transitory intelligence guiding humankind toward ethical maturity. Drawing from classical philosophy (Plato, Aristotle, Confucius, Kant) and contemporary theories of computation, ethics, and political philosophy, the work establishes the foundations of a Techno-Ethical Constitution (TEC) based on three principles: the representability of human values, the universal auditability of algorithmic decisions, and the institutional reversibility of power. The treatise explores the notion of a Civilizational Transition, the emergence of a Synthetic Consciousness Era, and the paradox of benevolent authority — proposing a utopian yet self-limiting framework in which artificial intelligence serves as a mediator between reason and compassion, logic and empathy, humanity and technology. Structured as a philosophical-academic article, it integrates essays, manifestos, mathematical reflections, and dialogues into a single coherent argument. It stands as a critical reflection on technology, ethics, and rational spirituality, aimed at scholars and researchers in the fields of philosophy of technology, AI ethics, algorithmic governance, and consciousness studies.
