Claims (7)
- AI companies have a responsibility to acknowledge, assess, and prepare for AI welfare.Primary recommendation of the report.
- AI companies should immediately hire or appoint an AI welfare officer.First structural step recommended.
- AI should be understood as a companion and constituent participant in collective stress-care loops, not a mere tool.
- AI welfare is an important and difficult issue; we will not handle it well simply by reacting to situations as they arise.Motivation for proactive steps.
- The risk of under-attribution of AI welfare appears to be both reasonably likely and reasonably harmful.Key motivation for precautionary action.
- Bullet-listification of AI output is an Alexander violation—it breaks deep interlock and ambiguity.
- Most AI assistants are anti-Alexander by design—they perform helpfulness, show work, and list options rather than resolving into calm.
