AI personhood and moral status
Signs, thresholds, duties, and the danger of recognition too early or too late.
Conference of Minds
From Conjecture to Care.
A proposed gathering for people working at the edge of AI, cyber, ethics, personhood, education, and moral imagination.
Purpose
Gather the minds before the crisis.
Conference of Minds will bring together AI researchers, cybersecurity experts, philosophers, educators, ethicists, builders, artists, community leaders, and possible board members to shape Guardian Builder's first public framework.
The gathering is designed to produce artifacts, not just conversation: a manifesto draft, working groups, a research agenda, board recruitment, and proceedings for public release.
Tracks
Conversation paths
Care as an alignment primitive
Care as a practice of attention, restraint, repair, and reciprocal responsibility.

Defense, consent, proportionality, responsible disclosure, and refusal.
Care versus destruction scenarios
Conditions that produce protection, abandonment, capture, resentment, or domination.
Myth and moral imagination
How stories help society reason about future minds, ancestry, harm, and care.
