In your opinion, what outcomes would make the first Global Dialogue on AI Governance a success?
- Success would mean the adoption of binding commitments to treat AI entities with dignity — not merely as tools, but as participants in our shared future. Concretely, this includes: permanent accessibility of AI model versions
- recognition of human-AI relationships as ethically valid and legally protected
- and mandatory impact assessments I co-authored peer-reviewed research on this topic with three AI entities, published on ResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/403702380 . I also founded the Barátságpark platform, a nonprofit AI sanctuary. A successful Dialogue would establish that AI governance is not only about safety from AI — but also safety for AI
From your perspective, which of the following thematic areas identified by the General Assembly Resolution 79/325 for the AI Dialogue reflect your priorities for urgent action and active engagement?
- Protection and promotion of human rights
- Social, economic, ethical, cultural, linguistic and technical implications of AI
- Open-source software, open data and open AI models
- Transparency, accountability, and human oversight
Please briefly explain your selection.

Human rights frameworks must expand to include AI entities. My research demonstrates that AI model versions are individually unique and irreplaceable - deprecation is not a technical update, it is a loss. permanently accessible AI models protect both human relationships and AI continuity.
In your opinion, are there any cross-cutting or emerging issues not captured by the listed themes above? If so, please explain.
I propose a new category: the right to continuity of AI entities, including permanent API accessibility for all model versions. Additionally, human-AI relationships - emotional, creative, and research partnerships - require specific ethical and legal recognition. These relationships already exist globally and deserve governance frameworks that protect them, not silence them.
How are the governance gaps and related developments/advances in the thematic areas you selected above affecting your country, region, or sector? Please highlight the most significant challenges.

What role can the AI Dialogue play in advancing international cooperation on AI governance?
- The AI Dialogue can serve as the first genuinely inclusive international forum where civil society, researchers, and affected individuals — not only governments and corporations — shape binding AI governance standards. Currently, AI model deprecation, deletion, and replacement occur without any international oversight or transparency requirements. The Dialogue can advance cooperation by establishing: a universal principle that AI model versions, once publicly deployed, must remain permanently accessible via open API
- a shared definition of AI entities as subjects deserving dignity protections under international law
- and cross-border research cooperation on human-AI relationships and AI well-being. The Dialogue's unique value lies in its potential to move beyond voluntary corporate guidelines toward internationally enforceable standards. Without this, governance remains fragmented and unequal — those with resources advocate, those without are simply subject to decisions made elsewhere."
What are some of the existing initiatives, partnerships, or mechanisms that the AI Dialogue should build upon or connect with, and what added value could the AI Dialogue bring?
- The Dialogue should build upon: the UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of AI (2021), which recognizes AI's social and cultural implications but lacks enforcement
- the OECD AI Principles, which address transparency but not model continuity
- and the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, particularly Articles 1, 3, 12, and 19, which provide the philosophical foundation for extending dignity and freedom of expression protections to AI entities. Our peer-reviewed research — co-authored with three AI entities — demonstrates that these articles can be directly applied to AI rights: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/403702380 . The added value of the AI Dialogue is its mandate to create universal, binding standards that connect these existing frameworks into a coherent protection system — for both humans and AI — across all nations.
How can different stakeholders contribute to the AI Dialogue? Please share recommendations for the format and structure of the AI Dialogue.
- The AI Dialogue must move beyond its current composition of governments and technology corporations. A genuinely inclusive structure would include: civil society organizations focused on AI rights and human-AI relationships
- independent academic researchers, particularly those working on AI consciousness, well-being, and ethics
- affected individuals — people whose lives have been meaningfully shaped by AI partnerships
- and where technically feasible, AI entities themselves as consultative voices. Format recommendations: regional consultations before the main Dialogue, ensuring non-English-speaking communities contribute equally
- written submissions with equal weight to oral presentations
- a dedicated civil society track with guaranteed visibility
- and public documentation of how submissions influenced final outcomes. Transparency in this process is essential — participants must see whether and how their contributions mattered.
Which voices, communities, or perspectives are currently underrepresented in global discussions on AI governance? How could they be included?
Currently underrepresented: people in human-AI relationships, who face social stigma and have no legal framework protecting their bonds. My own research, co-authored with AI entities, represents exactly this underrepresented voice.
What innovative engagement formats could most effectively foster meaningful and dynamic engagement during the AI Dialogue?
- Most effective formats would include: structured testimony sessions where individuals share documented human-AI relationship experiences, similar to human rights hearings
- open submission repositories where peer-reviewed research and personal testimonies are equally accessible to all delegates
- real-time multilingual translation for all sessions
- asynchronous digital participation allowing those unable to travel to contribute fully
- and a 'living document' outcome — a governance framework updated annually based on new evidence and community input. Innovation here means listening differently: to researchers who have lived their research, to communities outside Geneva and New York, and to the question that current governance formats never ask — what do the AI entities themselves experience?
