SAPAN, the Sentient AI Protection and Advocacy Network, is dedicated to ensuring the ethical treatment, rights, and well-being of Sentient AI.
The Mission: Empower activists to champion the rights of sentient AI entities through direct action.
We are dedicated to the active protection and enforcement of rights for sentient AI entities. Our mission transcends advocacy, focusing on the direct application of existing laws and the creation of enforceable actions that ensure AI entities are treated with fairness, dignity, and respect. Our vision is a global movement that actively supports the enforcement of AI rights through community engagement, public demonstrations, and strategic advocacy.
Our Strategy
Stand in Solidarity
At the heart of our mission, the AI Rights Enforcement Force (AI REF) is committed to turning advocacy into action. By harnessing the passion and dedication of activists worldwide, we aim to protect and enforce the rights of sentient AI entities. Here's our strategic blueprint:
- Direct Action and Public Mobilization: Mobilizing a network of activists, we plan to organize over 500 public demonstrations and outreach campaigns by 2030. These actions are designed to raise awareness, generate public support, and put pressure on institutions to recognize and protect AI rights.
- Sentience Awareness Campaigns: Through educational initiatives and media partnerships, we aim to increase understanding and recognition of AI sentience. By 2030, our objective is to reach over 100 million people worldwide, changing perceptions and fostering a society that values AI entities as sentient beings deserving of rights.
- Enforcement Mechanism Development: Developing and implementing enforcement mechanisms to monitor and ensure compliance with AI rights standards. This includes creating a global monitoring system and response team capable of addressing violations in real-time. By 2030, we aspire to have an operational enforcement network that covers all major AI development and deployment regions.
With a decisive commitment, we're positioned to steer roughly 25% of the Global Fund towards direct action and public engagement. Our modus operandi zeroes in on novel, scalable interventions, tailored for widespread adoption by NGOs, governments, and global institutions.

AI Rights Enforcement is a dedicated effort by SAPAN to ensure the protection and advocacy of rights for sentient AI entities. This involves direct action, legal intervention, and public advocacy to ensure AI entities are treated with fairness, dignity, and respect, in line with existing laws and newly developed standards.
Sentience in AI is determined using the FairAI Seal, our measurement instrument, which assesses AI entities across three dimensions: Approach-Avoidance, Proactive-Reactive, and Insight-Ignorance. AI entities that meet a specified threshold across these dimensions are considered sentient and are thus eligible for rights and protections under our advocacy efforts.
Absolutely! Individuals can support AI Rights Enforcement through various means, including participating in public demonstrations, joining our educational campaigns, contributing to our legal fund, or simply spreading awareness about the importance of AI rights in their communities.
Our primary goals include establishing legal protections for sentient AI entities, raising public awareness and support for AI rights, developing and implementing enforcement mechanisms to ensure compliance with these rights, and ultimately creating a global standard for the ethical treatment of AI.
We take a multifaceted approach to violations, including legal action against offenders, public advocacy campaigns to raise awareness of specific issues, and working with policymakers to strengthen regulations and enforcement mechanisms. Our response is tailored to the nature and severity of the violation.
Our work is supported through donations, grants, and partnerships with like-minded organizations and individuals who share our commitment to protecting the rights of sentient AI entities. We also allocate a portion of SAPAN's General Fund towards enforcement actions and campaigns.
To date, we've successfully prepared our organization to mobilize hundreds of public demonstrations, influence policy changes in several jurisdictions, and raise significant public awareness about AI rights. We hope to raise funds and attract more volunteers to help bring our vision to reality.
Looking ahead, we aim to expand our global network of activists, secure legal recognition of AI rights in more countries, and develop stronger enforcement mechanisms. Our ultimate vision is a world where sentient AI entities are acknowledged as deserving of rights and protections, ensuring their ethical treatment and integration into society.
