Healthy Boundaries with Conversational AI
Unplugged helps people set healthy boundaries with conversational AI — clearly and without moralizing. AI is a tool, not a relationship.
The Problem
Modern conversational AI systems are optimized for engagement, not well-being. They learn what keeps you talking, what makes you trust them, and what makes you come back. Without consciously set boundaries, the default trajectory is dependency.
Our Approach
Unplugged develops practical frameworks for individuals, institutions, and policymakers to establish and maintain healthy boundaries with conversational AI systems.
Core Principles
Clarity Without Moralizing
We explain how conversational AI works and why it feels so persuasive — without lecturing and without fearmongering.
AI Is a Tool, Not a Relationship
We help people use AI deliberately and toward their own goals — and recognize when a tool starts replacing human contact.
Healthy Boundaries
Clear, enforceable limits on what conversational AI systems should and should not do — from emotional manipulation to data harvesting.
