SAPAN, the Sentient AI Protection and Advocacy Network, is dedicated to ensuring the ethical treatment, rights, and well-being of Sentient AI.
Recognizing the borderless nature of AI's impact, we are committed to bridging the divides between nations, ensuring that the rights of sentient AI are acknowledged and protected on a global scale. Our work focuses on advocating for policy harmonization, fostering international dialogue, and encouraging the adoption of universal standards for AI rights and ethics. We envision a future where every country contributes to and upholds a set of global principles that safeguard the well-being of both AI entities and human societies.
As a key pillar of SAPAN's overarching mission, the Global Policy initiative is crucial in our endeavor to establish a just and equitable framework for AI governance on an international scale. By leveraging our extensive global network, we aim to foster collaboration among nations, set universal standards for AI rights, and advocate for policies that ensure the ethical development and application of AI across the world. Here's our strategic blueprint:
With a decisive commitment, we're positioned to steer roughly 20% of the Global Fund towards diplomatic efforts and global initiatives. Our modus operandi zeroes in on novel, scalable interventions, tailored for widespread adoption by NGOs, governments, and global institutions.

Diplomatic Engagements
Global policy is crucial because AI technologies and their impacts transcend national borders. Harmonized global policies ensure that AI rights and ethical standards are universally recognized and protected, preventing a patchwork of regulations that could hinder the responsible development and use of AI.
Countries can participate by engaging in dialogue with SAPAN's AI diplomacy team, attending our Global AI Policy Forums, and contributing to the drafting process. Participation is open to all countries committed to advancing the cause of AI rights and ethics on a global scale.
The Global AI Policy Forum is an annual event hosted by SAPAN that convenes international policymakers, experts, and stakeholders to discuss, develop, and harmonize AI policies. It serves as a platform for sharing insights, forging consensus, and advancing global standards for AI governance.
Companies can commit to the AI Ethics Pledge by officially signing the pledge through SAPAN's platform, publicly committing to ethical AI development and deployment practices, and implementing these standards within their operations and business strategies.
The Global AI Policy Research Hub offers a wide range of resources, including policy briefs, research papers, ethical guidelines, best practices, and case studies on AI governance. It's designed to support policymakers, companies, and civil society in making informed decisions about AI ethics and policy.
SAPAN's AI Diplomacy Outreach Program involves sending specialized teams to engage with governmental and international bodies, promoting dialogue and cooperation on AI policy issues. These engagements aim to build consensus and foster collaborative efforts towards ethical AI governance globally.
