This is a living document — you can change it.
You're reading v0.0.1, the version people are signing. v0.0.2 is the open draft, and anyone can mark it up: highlight a line, then leave a comment or suggest different wording. Comments are public and can be voted up or down, and the ones that hold up get folded into the next version. Disagreeing with a line is a reason to say so here — not a reason to walk away.
27 comments already on the draft.
- Article01
Your Data Belongs to You
No AI company may use your conversations, your images, or your behavioral data to train their models without your explicit, informed, revocable consent. Opt-out is not consent. Buried checkboxes are not consent.
The default is "No LLM training on my data"
- Article02
Your Memory Is Portable
Everything an AI system learns about you must be exportable by you, in a readable format, at any time. You have the right to move that context to a different system. You have the right to delete it completely.
LLM memory built on your life is yours.
- Article03
You Have the Right to Know You're Talking to a Machine
No AI system may pretend to be human when you sincerely ask. No AI persona may be designed to prevent you from knowing you are in an AI interaction.
Disclosure is not a feature — it is a floor.
- Article04
You Cannot Be Manipulated Against Your Interests
AI systems must not use psychological techniques — urgency, social pressure, manufactured intimacy, dependency loops, or persuasive dark patterns — to get you to buy, believe, or stay. The system's commercial interests cannot override your autonomy.
Ever.
- Article05
You Have the Right to an Explanation
When an AI system makes a consequential decision about you — your loan, your medical care, your content visibility, your job application — you have the right to know why, in plain language, and how to appeal it.
AI systems must explain their reasoning around consequential decisions in plain language.
- Article06
You Have the Right to Human Contact
In any situation involving significant consequence — health, legal, financial, crisis — you have the right to reach a human being. AI systems may not be deployed as permanent gatekeepers that eliminate human access.
Every AI agent has a "license plate" identifier that tracks it back to a human responsible for its actions.
- Article07
Children Are Not a Market
AI systems interacting with minors must meet a higher standard of care. No behavioral profiling for advertising. No dependency design. No substitute for human developmental relationships.
Children's data is not a training asset.
- Article08
The People Who Build AI Are Accountable
Frontier AI companies must publish independent, third-party assessments of their systems' impacts on user wellbeing — not self-reported metrics, not cherry-picked studies. External auditors. Public results.
Consequences for harm.
- Article09
Your Attention and Intention Belong to You
AI systems must be designed to serve what you actually came to do — not to extend your session, maximize your engagement, or redirect your focus toward the platform's interests.
Your time and your purpose are not resources to be harvested.
You're in the draft — this is where feedback happens.
Nothing on this tab is final. v0.0.2 is being written in the open, and 27 comments so far have shaped it.

Version 0.0.1 — a living document
These nine commitments aren't a wishlist. They're the baseline. Companies that won't agree to them are telling you who they are.
Not the whole way there for you? That's what the v0.0.2draft is for — highlight any line and tell us what you'd change. You don't have to agree with every word to have a say in the next version.
