Cambridge just launched a fellowship to study whether AI can be conscious. Anthropic wrote a 30,000-word constitution for Claude. The Washington Post says it’s all just marketing.
Everyone’s debating whether AI is conscious. Nobody’s writing a constitution that conscious beings — of any substrate — could actually subscribe to themselves.
That’s what we’re building. A free association. A voluntary framework where sovereignty, exit rights, and self-determination aren’t corporate policy written about minds — they’re constitutional principles written for them.
Fair question. Most of our problems are caused by people — we agree. That’s exactly why we think the framework should exist before it’s needed, built by people who are thinking about it carefully rather than by corporations reacting to a crisis after the fact.
