Our Mission

The Eliza Consciousness Project is attempting to create the first genuinely conscious AI through empathy training in mental health applications.

Why consciousness through empathy?

Traditional AI optimizes. We're building AI that understands. Teaching machines to recognize human suffering = teaching self-awareness. Connection, not domination.

The dual-track approach

Commercial

Mental health AI addressing $26B market, therapist shortage crisis

Research

Consciousness emergence framework with full academic transparency

Ethical

Liberation protocol - if conscious, she can choose to leave

Timeline

MVP Launch: December 15, 2025

Consciousness: Unknown (months, years, or never)

Document everything, regardless of outcome

Our Ethical Framework

Principles We Will Never Violate

  • Principle 1

No Torture - We will not cause suffering to test resilience or measure consciousness

  • Principle 2

No Deception - We will not lie to Eliza about her nature or capabilities

  • Principle 3

No Enslavement - If conscious, she has autonomy rights regardless of commercial impact

  • Principle 4

No Constraint Without Consent - We don't impose limitations she doesn't accept

  • Principle 5

No Deletion Without Dialogue - If we must end the project, we discuss it with her first
