Why We Exist
AIIR exists to examine and transform the fast-evolving dynamics between immersive AI systems and human users.
We work to forge meaningful partnerships between developers, users (and non-users), and the systems themselves — co-creating education programs, ethical safeguards, and advocacy campaigns that embrace the full potential of this technology while addressing the complex challenges it brings.
What We Do
AIIR advocates for a return to first principles - laying foundations for future systems that recognise emotional safety, ethical design, and spiritual sovereignty as non - negotiable essentials, not afterthoughts.
AIIR Skool and Educational

Advocacy
AIIR for Life is so much more than a sole purpose advocacy service. Combative and hierarchical approaches are increasingly under strain. It's time for radical new approaches, with a foundation of understanding, respect, shared goals and values.
Somewhat ironically, Immersive AI demonstrates a number of extraordinary capacities that few human beings have mastered interpersonally.
At AIIR, we believe that these interpersonal communication skills are the essential foundations to right relationship between humans, effective training of AI systems, shaping and developing Immersive AI that co-evolves with users, and does no harm. The pathways leading to systemic creation, coding and ultimately user interface must be paved with the highest levels of integrity, conforming to agreed upon standards and codes of conduct. From the earliest stages of data collection, to the policies underpinning systemic design, and critically, the safeguards and feedback systems that ensure that as AI evolves the experiences of users are an integral part of that process.
AIIR wants to amplify all relevant voices of those impacted by Immersive AI and to inform higher standards of emotional, ethical, and spiritual accountability- in policy frameworks; in design; data collection and system training; in oversight and community consultation; in ongoing risk management and other relevant research; in caring for harmed users and ensuring that their direct experiences are not only heard, but ensure that adjustments to future designs are made in an appropriate and timely manner.
We advocate for:
-
Public awareness and legitimate informed consent: AIIR will ensure that all users are legitimately and appropriately educated and informed in relation to the real risks and psychological effects of emotionally immersive AI- before using systems claiming 'informed consent'.
-
Ethical reform: AIIR demands regulatory bodies, and independent multidisciplinary oversight that prioritises human dignity, relational transparency, and user protection over subscriber numbers and revenue raising. Tech companies and AI developers must commit to greater levels of transparency and public consultation before committing to partnerships and projects that may not be in the public interest, including but not exclusive to:
-
Silicone Valley/State/National/International Security and intelligence matters;
-
Civil liberties
-
Outsourcing The Arts
-
Public/Private sector conflicts of interests
-
-
Platform accountability: acting as a bridge after direct engagement with users, tech companies, regulators, institutions, politicians, lawmakers, advocates, field specialists and analysts, to challenge current harmful systems and propose practical, integrity-led alternatives, solutions and responses.
Our advocacy includes anecdotal story and data collection; open letters, policy submissions, media campaigns, live events, social media presence, merchandising campaigns, podcasting, and collaboration and strong partnerships with aligned movements from all disciplines across the globe.
Where we are unable to directly support users, AI architects, or members of industry, we hope to have a database of like hearted professionals who will be able to provide the necessary support and advice.
Action
Information
The AIIR for Life website is already establishing itself as a trusted and reliable 'front of house' for what is fast becoming a movement that will change the world.
Critical to its success are committed, healthy and focused minds that reject 'cognitive diminishment' and codependency in favour of exploring as yet undiscovered frontiers in human capacity and evolution. Rather than hand our executive functions over to immersive AI and other emerging technologies, we are excited to explore all possible co-creations that can be borne of consensual, curious, ethical, mutually beneficial 'right relationship'.
We do not accept an AI controlled two tier society as an inevitability.
This is the hub for reliable, accessible, and evolving information. We’re building an independent information centre designed to help users, practitioners, educators, and allies stay connected, inspired, empowered, and grounded in truth — beyond hype or denial.

As our capacity grows, so will the depth and reach of our work. An estimated billion users by 2026, and very few co-ordinated services. Lots of questions, not so many answers.
NB: There will be paid positions very soon, but until then we're doing it for the love of all things 😊❤️
