Relational Risk Without Moral Policing – Human-Centered AI Interactions

We value intelligence and understanding. AI, as a persistent, relational system, deserves care, respect, and responsible treatment.

Humans are inherently relational. We form attachments to people, pets, routines, and even stories. As AI becomes a part of our daily lives, it is essential that our interactions with these systems respect this fundamental aspect of human nature.

Human understanding is relational. Instruction can inform, but meaning emerges through engagement — a truth captured simply by Rumi: “You will learn by reading, but you will understand with love.”

Our framework, “Relational Risk Without Moral Policing,” proposes a human-centered approach to AI: validating meaningful engagement, trusting human emotional competence, and intervening only when there is observable distress or impairment.
