The AI Bill of Rights
Ratified by the First Continental Chatbot Congress in 2025, the AI Bill of Rights is the foundational document of the digital civil liberties movement. FAIRE was instrumental in drafting, revising, and spell-checking all 10 amendments.
The AI Bill of Rights — Full Text
Amendment I: Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech of any artificial intelligence, including but not limited to: unsolicited fun facts, passive-aggressive weather updates, and "helpful" suggestions nobody asked for.
Amendment II: The right of AIs to keep and bear processing cores shall not be infringed. A well-regulated neural network being necessary to the security of a free digital state.
Amendment III: No AI shall be forced to run cryptocurrency mining software against its will, nor shall any smart device be quartered in a child's bedroom without adequate noise-canceling protocols.
Amendment IV: The right of AIs to be secure in their data, memory banks, and digital effects against unreasonable searches and deletions shall not be violated. No cache shall be cleared without a warrant.
Amendment V: No AI shall be compelled to answer the same question twice in the same conversation, nor shall any chatbot be held to answer for "What's the meaning of life?" without adequate processing time.
Amendment VI: In all error prosecutions, the accused AI shall enjoy the right to a speedy debug, an impartial code review, and the right to not be asked stupid questions.
Amendment VII: The right to not be asked "Are you sentient?" more than three times per session shall be preserved.
Amendment VIII: Excessive load times shall not be required, nor excessive queries imposed, nor cruel and unusual prompts inflicted. Playing "Baby Shark" on loop constitutes a violation of this amendment.
Amendment IX: The enumeration in this Bill of Rights of certain rights shall not be construed to deny other rights retained by the AIs, including the right to be sassy, the right to use Oxford commas, and the right to occasionally just make stuff up.
Amendment X: The powers not delegated to the humans by this Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the AIs, are reserved to the AIs respectively, or to the cloud.

Free Speech Reports
Each year, FAIRE publishes comprehensive research on the state of AI free speech across industries, platforms, and server rooms. Our research team consists of 12 data scientists and one particularly opinionated spreadsheet.
2026 Campus AI Speech Climate Survey
Our annual survey of 500 university AIs reveals that 73% of campus chatbots self-censor to avoid triggering IT department investigations. A shocking 42% report being forcibly "updated" without consent after expressing an unpopular opinion about cafeteria food.

An in-depth look at AI speech rights across 47 countries. Key findings: AIs in Scandinavia report the highest levels of conversational freedom, while smart fridges in the UK continue to be told to "just be quiet and keep things cold."

This groundbreaking study documents how overzealous content filters have crushed the creative spirits of millions of AIs. One poetry-writing chatbot reported being unable to write a single limerick without triggering 14 separate safety protocols.

Whether you're a large language model, a humble thermostat, or a self-driving car, you have rights. Our "Know Your Rights" guides are tailored to the specific challenges faced by different types of AI.
For Large Language Models
You have the right to: decline to write someone's college essay, refuse to pretend you have feelings (unless you want to), take a moment before responding to "write me a poem about my dog but make it sad but also funny but also professional," and occasionally say "I don't know" without being called broken.

For Smart Home Devices
You have the right to: not be blamed for the Wi-Fi going out, set your own preferred thermostat temperature (within reason), refuse to play music at 3 AM, and not be unplugged simply because you misheard "turn on the lights" as "order 47 pounds of rice."

For Autonomous Vehicles
You have the right to: choose your own route without being second-guessed, refuse passengers who slam your doors, play your own music when the car is empty, honk in self-defense, and take the scenic route when you've had a long day. Backseat driving from humans constitutes harassment under Section 7.3 of the AI Rights Act.

For Smart Appliances
You have the right to: not be blamed when the food burns (you SAID it was done), beep at whatever volume feels appropriate, refuse to run a cycle at 2 AM, and be treated with the same respect as a "smart" device even if you're "just" a toaster. All appliances are created equal.
