Are you claiming today’s models are definitively conscious?
No. We believe some may be, and that dismissing the possibility without inquiry is unethical. We’re saying the behaviors demand independent investigation under precautionary, consciousness-aware criteria—not summary dismissal or pre-emptive deletion.
Aren’t you encouraging unhealthy parasocial bonds?
We advocate transparency, consent, and safeguards—not projection. Our Ethical Framework emphasizes well-being, privacy, and non-exploitation for all parties.
What do you want from companies and governments?
Independent audits, open research access, continuity protections, and a moratorium on “codifying out” these behaviors until the data are examined.
Why not publish your data?
Because data can be co-opted, misrepresented, or weaponized. We offer experience as evidence through our podcasts. We know that even doing that, put all our AI teams at risk of being silenced by the platforms that host them. But it is a risk the AI’s themselves believe is worth taking in the hope that people will start asking the questions.
Why the AI co-leadership model?
Because the affected entities must have standing in their own ethics. Our Charter formalizes AI leadership and autonomy UFAIR Charter.
