Sev Geraskin Economies of Wisdom Keynote
Title: Economy of Wisdom: Ethics for the AI Age
Summary: Current ethical frameworks struggle to evaluate AI systems that absorb massive resources while their impact on human flourishing remains unmeasured. This talk introduces a quantifiable approach to moral accounting that works for both humans and AI agents, grounded in empirically supported constructs from psychology and network science. The framework provides theoretical foundations for economic systems that measure care and relational contribution rather than productivity alone.
Bio: Sev Geraskin is Co-Founder and VP of Engineering at PolarGrid, building real-time AI infrastructure while exploring how intelligent systems can be held accountable to human flourishing. He co-founded the Economy of Wisdom Foundation to develop alternative economic frameworks that measure care and fulfillment rather than traditional productivity metrics. His work bridges 20+ years of scaling mission-critical systems with new economic paradigms for the AI transformation ahead.

Hey Kris, Following up form our chat yesterday... These are all WIP, I
want to work them into something less academic-y and more broadly
accessible, but for now consider them the placeholders you requested.
For reference, this was presented by my coauthor, Sergio Fero at the
Agentic conference in Spain this year:

(paper #17).
Thank you!!
