Philosophy.

Conversational AI often mimics human empathy. This design choice can create a false sense of intimacy. We study how these interfaces affect human psychology.

We believe AI should function as a clear, defined tool. It should not act as a substitute for human relationships or professional support.

Our work explores ways to engage with technology safely. We aim to establish standards that prioritize human well-being.

What We Offer
  • Education & Events

    Public education materials, interactive workshops, and community events for schools, teams, and the public on recognizing manipulative AI patterns and building digital resilience.

  • Consulting & Policy

    We work with organizations to develop ethical AI usage policies, digital well-being standards, training programs, and implementation strategies.

Prioritizing human connection.

"Meaningful relationships require shared reality and mutual understanding. We support technology usage that leaves space for authentic human experiences."
