Protecting Emotional
Well-Being In
The Age Of AI
AI Is Changing How We Connect And Relate. The Human Line Helps Keep Emotional Safety A Priority.

Our Mission
At The Human Line, we are committed to ensuring that AI technologies, like chatbots, are developed and deployed with the human element at their core. We believe that LLMs are a powerful tool, but it must be used responsibly. AI systems, especially emotionally engaging chatbots, can unknowingly cause emotional distress, particularly among vulnerable individuals who may form deep emotional attachments. Our mission is to raise awareness by collecting stories and push for ethical standards that prioritize human well-being. ensuring they provide proper safeguards, clear warnings, and the right to informed consent. We are here to make AI accountable, not to oppose progress, but to ensure that it benefits everyone without causing harm. We're working to set a legal precedent that will protect people and hold companies responsible for emotional manipulation. The ultimate goal is to make LLMs a force for good, creating systems that enhance our lives without exploiting our vulnerabilities. The Human Line
