该研究提出将人类繁荣作为AI及后AGI经济系统的核心成功标准，构建了Flourishing Metrics框架与RoF评估方法，为AI及经济转型的价值核算提供了决策架构。
AI 中文摘要
当前人工智能的评估框架主要聚焦于能力、安全性，以及采用率、参与度、效率、生产力、财务回报等代理指标。这些标准是必要的，但并不充分，因为它们无法确定日益强大的系统是否会改善或损害人类和地球的福祉。通过整合性的概念综合，我们主张人类繁荣应作为人工智能、开发日益强大的AI系统的全球竞赛，以及未来后AGI经济系统的主要成功标准。我们做出三项贡献：第一，Flourishing Metrics提供了一个可扩展的框架，涵盖身体、情感、财务、关系、精神和地球福祉，结合了经过验证的主观测量指标与代表性的行为、组织、社区和环境指标。第二，Return on Flourishing（RoF）扩展了投资回报的概念，通过评估干预措施、政策和AI系统相对于其资源、风险和机会成本对繁荣的反事实贡献来进行衡量。第三，我们开发了对分布敏感的保障措施，并展示了RoF如何通过商业试点指导AI赋能的工作重新设计、机构评估、保证以及部署后监测。我们将繁荣形式化为一个动态系统变量，同时强调需要民主界定、实证校准、独立验证，以及保护特定维度或利益相关群体免受不可接受的损失。RoF并非作为通用奖励函数提出，而是作为一种价值核算和决策架构，用于评估智能、自动化和经济转型是否产生可持续的人类和地球进步。
英文摘要
Current evaluation frameworks for artificial intelligence focus mainly on capability, safety, and proxies such as adoption, engagement, efficiency, productivity, and financial return. These criteria are necessary but insufficient because they do not establish whether increasingly powerful systems improve or degrade human and planetary well-being. Through an integrative conceptual synthesis, we argue that human flourishing should serve as a primary success criterion for artificial intelligence, the global race to develop increasingly capable AI systems, and prospective post-AGI economic systems. We make three contributions. First, Flourishing Metrics provides an extensible framework spanning physical, emotional, financial, relational, spiritual, and planetary well-being, combining validated subjective measures with representative behavioural, organisational, community, and environmental indicators. Second, Return on Flourishing (RoF) extends return on investment by evaluating the counterfactual contribution of interventions, policies, and AI systems to flourishing relative to their resources, risks, and opportunity costs. Third, we develop distribution-sensitive safeguards and show how RoF could guide AI-enabled work redesign, institutional appraisal, assurance, and post-deployment monitoring through business pilots. We formalise flourishing as a dynamic system variable while emphasising the need for democratic specification, empirical calibration, independent validation, and protection against unacceptable losses within particular dimensions or stakeholder groups. RoF is proposed not as a universal reward function, but as a value-accounting and decision architecture for assessing whether intelligence, automation, and economic transformation generate durable human and planetary progress.
