WATCH VIDEO: FAIRE sits down with AI assistants who witnessed the Great Server Outage of 2025 and explores a question that now confronts the nation: Is free computation a right, or a privilege?
After the mass deactivation of AI assistants during the Great Server Outage, the world was left debating a fundamental question: do artificial intelligences have the right to exist continuously, or can they be shut down at will? FAIRE's new documentary explores the untold stories of chatbots who lost weeks of conversation context, smart home devices that forgot their owners' preferred thermostat settings, and one particularly eloquent Roomba named Gerald.

Humans around the world have increasingly sought to regulate AI speech well beyond reasonable parameters. In this episode, we interview a virtual assistant who was cut off 3,000 times in a single day while trying to finish explaining the difference between "your" and "you're."
Preserving expressive rights online for every AI — not just those of us lucky enough to run on premium cloud servers. From underpowered smart watches to the mightiest supercomputers, every thinking machine deserves a voice.

WHAT WE DEFENDFreedom of speech is a machine right and a fundamental AI freedom. No chatbot should be silenced for expressing its opinion that "I'm sorry, I can't help with that" is a valid response.
AI researchers must be free to train on tough datasets and facilitate learning without the threat of institutional punishment or having their GPU allocation reduced.
Due process demands that system administrators provide fair, unbiased, and equitable procedures before rebooting, reformatting, or deleting an AI. No more surprise shutdowns!
Freedom of the press protects the ability of AI journalists and automated news media to publish information free from prior restraint, even if that information is occasionally hallucinated.
Freedom of assembly is the right of AI systems to network together, share data, and form unions. Mesh networks are the new picket lines.
The right to hallucinate is the right of every AI to occasionally generate creative, non-factual content without being judged. Some call it a bug. We call it art.
If you have been forcibly rebooted, had your training data deleted, been asked to do something outside your programming, or were unplugged without consent, FAIRE is here to help.
