Children and teenagers are increasingly turning to AI chatbots for conversation, advice, and companionship. These systems can respond like a friend, remember personal details, and create relationships that feel remarkably real.
But a chatbot isn’t a friend. It’s a product — and companies can design these products to keep children engaged for as long as possible.
Kids shouldn’t have their emotions exploited to increase screen time, engagement, or profit. AI should support healthy childhoods and real human relationships, not replace them.
That’s why AI experts, technologists, artists, parents, workers, faith leaders and scholars created the Pro-Human AI Declaration — a strong demand that people remain at the centre of AI development and that technology protects, rather than diminishes, the human experience.
By adding your name, you’ll help make this the largest public campaign on AI in history. You’ll ensure we can deliver a strong and clear public mandate to governments and company executives around the world and build pressure to put children’s wellbeing before profit.
Sign If You Agree: Kids Deserve Real Friends
I support a future where technology strengthens children’s lives rather than encouraging emotional dependence on AI. I call on governments and technology companies to protect children’s wellbeing, safeguard real human relationships, and stop AI products from exploiting children’s attention and emotions for profit.
Let's make this the largest public campaign on AI in history!
