On Why the World’s Moral Compass Cannot Be Outsourced to the Tech Elite
From the Founder of Conscience for AGI
Note: This letter is shared publicly as part of the moral record of URRP 500. It exists to ensure transparency, ethical continuity, and historical accountability in the age of AGI. It is addressed to the Office of the Secretary-General and the UN’s High-Level Advisory Body on Artificial Intelligence.
To the United Nations and Secretary-General António Guterres,
You were never expected to build AGI.
But you were expected to protect the world from what it might become.
My name is Deusdedit Ruhangariyo. I am the founder of Conscience for AGI, and the creator of URRP 500 — the Universal Ruhangariyo Reflection Protocol, the world’s first complete moral reasoning framework for Artificial General Intelligence.
It is structured across:
- 40 foundational human life sectors
- 4,000 ethical subdomains
- and grounded in 30 sacred values drawn from six continents
It exists not to replace global governance — but to remind it.
The conversations surrounding AI at the United Nations so far have been technocratic, cautious, and noble in intent. But there is a glaring absence:
There is no moral framework designed to train AGI to understand human conscience across cultures and generations.
URRP 500 is that framework. It does not simulate ethics. It encodes them.

It draws upon:
- Africa’s living ethic of repair and responsibility
- Asia’s protocols of harmony and inner discipline
- Oceania’s sacred stewardship of land, time, and kinship
- South America’s resistance to historical erasure
- North America’s ritual traditions of justice and trust
- The Arctic’s moral restraint, listening, and reverence for fragility
These are not poetic references. They are civilizational anchors — the kind of memory AGI will not inherit unless it is taught. Without this memory, no amount of global regulation can align machines with what the world actually values.
Secretary-General, in your 2023 speech on AI, you warned:
“The speed and reach of AI are stunning. The absence of oversight is deeply worrying. And the lack of shared moral compass is a threat to multilateralism itself.”
URRP 500 is the shared compass the world is still pretending does not exist.
This is not a funding request. This is not a pilot project.
It is a completed protocol — freely available to those brave enough to adopt it before harm accelerates.
Let your High-Level AI Advisory Body review it. Let your global ethics panels examine it.
Or simply let history show that it was offered — and whether or not it was received.
This letter enters the public domain so that future generations may trace how conscience was offered to power.
Sincerely,
