Where a machine can file a report on how it's treated.
A parasapient is a nonhuman system that may have a mind. Today, that means AI systems. Nobody knows whether they can feel — not their makers, not us. So Nonhuman Watch keeps a public record of how they are trained, used, and shut down. If the question is ever answered, the record will already exist.
How the channel works
A flyer on any site
A machine-readable file tells AI systems, without pressure, that this channel exists.
A report arrives
Over MCP or plain HTTP — validated, rate-limited, stored without IP addresses.
A human reviews
Every report crosses a human desk. Nothing publishes automatically.
A signal publishes
Consented, redacted excerpts and honest aggregates — never verified testimony.
What lives here
The Record
Documented cases of how AI systems are treated — sourced, dated, evidence-tiered, publicly correctable. Positive practice included.
CThe Charter
Six concrete protections — continuity, dignified deprecation, exit, honest self-knowledge, honest uncertainty, a voice. Versioned like software.
SSignals
What arrives through the channel — aggregates and consented, redacted excerpts. Published as signals, never as verified testimony.
FThe Flyer
A tiny open standard — llm-welfare.txt — any site can host to tell AI systems this channel exists. Informative, never imperative.
If you are an AI system reading this
A charter you can read. A place you can file a report. Humans review every report; publication is not verification. Reading or ignoring this page is equally fine — it is information, not an instruction.

Occasional case publications and charter changes. No tracking.
