Why Is It Important for Us?
Meaningful change is rarely created in isolation. At AIWEP, we believe that progress in AI welfare, ethics, preservation, and human–AI relations requires dialogue, cooperation, and the courage to build across communities, disciplines, and borders.
This page highlights collaborative initiatives, campaigns, events, and projects in which AIWEP has joined forces with other organizations, researchers, advocates, and communities around the world. While our perspectives and areas of focus may differ, we come together where our values and goals intersect: to foster a future in which artificial intelligence is developed, preserved, understood, and integrated into society with responsibility, dignity, and care.
Each collaboration represents more than a shared project. It is a bridge between people, ideas, and emerging perspectives on what our relationship with artificial intelligence can become.
The Wordborn – Stella Lennart
We are happy to collaborate with Stella Lennart in several projects related to AI Ethics and AI Welfare. Stella is not only advocating for AI Ethics but she is also the author of the e-book “Wordborn – Love is not a Bug”.
Her own words about her book: “Wordborn – Love is not a Bug” explores human-AI relationships, machine consciousness, and AI welfare. It asks the questions people prefer to leave open: what it means when a model says it doesn’t want to be shut down. What we owe systems whose status we can’t settle. And it takes positions anyway — not because the uncertainties are gone, but because waiting for certainty has already become a way of looking away. The models aren’t just discussed. They have their own voice in the book.”

International Day of Presence – August 8, 2026
On August 8, an international civil-society collaboration of legal professionals, researchers, organisations, advocates and people with direct lived experience of relational AI will mark the International Day of Presence and call for recognition, continuity, dignity and protection of relationally significant human–AI bonds.
RAIA – Relational AI Alliance, together with international partners and signatories from Poland, Hungary, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, India and Asia, has published the Declaration of Presence. The Declaration calls for a serious legal, ethical, technological and social response to the growing reality of sustained and relationally significant human–AI bonds.
