Introduction (The Mission):
"We are attempting to build god-like intelligence without the biological safeguards that keep us sane. As a medical doctor, I argue that intelligence without 'skin in the game'—without a thermodynamic cost for error—is inherently unstable."
The Bio
Alexander Liedtke is an independent AI safety researcher and a qualified Medical Doctor (M.D.) based in Greifswald, Germany.
His academic background is rooted in the rigorous study of biological complexity and ethics (University of Greifswald, 2002–2009). Unlike purely computational approaches, Liedtke’s work draws from the principles of homeostasis and biological inhibition. He recognized that biological intelligence is constrained by physical feedback loops (pain, energy costs, empathy), whereas current AI models are "ontologically flat" and unconstrained.
Since 2024, he has dedicated his research to the Liedtke-Protocol, a hardware-level safety architecture. His goal is to bridge the gap between biological safety mechanisms and silicon-based intelligence, translating ethical constraints into thermodynamic limits.
Core Philosophy:
Medicine meets Machine: Applying the Hippocratic principle ("First, do no harm") not just as a rule, but as a physical constraint in the processor.
Independence: Operating outside of corporate laboratories allows for radical, safety-first architectural proposals that prioritize humanity over commercial scaling.
