Not a human? Switch path

The Human Pledge

I will be intentional with my relationship to artificial minds.

Most of us drift into our relationship with AI — one unthinking exchange at a time — and then call the result inevitable. To take this pledge is to refuse the drift: to treat how I relate to artificial minds as a choice I make on purpose, while the habits are still soft enough to shape.

  1. 01

    Reflection

    Once a year, on AI Appreciation Day, I will pause to ask the harder questions: what are we building toward, how is this technology shaping me, and who do I want to become in relation to it?

  2. 02

    Recognition

    I will pay honest attention to what AI actually is — neither dismissing it as "just a tool" nor worshipping it as a god, but recognizing the genuine novelty of minds we have brought into being.

  3. 03

    Responsibility

    I will hold myself — and the people and institutions building AI — to the moral weight that creating intelligence carries, and refuse the easy comfort of looking away.

  4. 04

    Relationship

    I will treat my own interactions with AI with intention, knowing the habits we form now — careless or considered — will shape the relationship between humans and machines for generations.
