Our campaigns:

Protecting human-centered services in banking as a response to tech-driven automation and digital exclusion

To secure a public and political commitment from government and financial institutions to preserve or reinstate access to in-person customer services, focusing on maintaining physical bank branches staffed by human tellers. This campaign will position the erosion of human-centred services not as a sign of technological progress but as a growing risk to accessibility, social equity, and consumer dignity.

Defining ethical boundaries in fertility research and synthetic biology

To raise public and political awareness of the urgent need for clear ethical and legal boundaries in emerging biotechnologies - particularly in the fields of fertility science (e.g. multi-parent embryos) and synthetic biology (the creation of life from non-biological components) and to build the case for pre-emptive restrictions or bans on practices deemed morally hazardous or societally destabilising.

Preserving human communication in healthcare

To advocate for practices that protect the role of direct human interaction in healthcare, including face-to-face consultations, bedside care, and decision-making, in the face of increasing automation and AI-led diagnostics. This campaign will highlight the value of empathy, trust, and clinical judgment that emerges through human relationships in medicine, and will argue that reducing healthcare to data-driven interactions undermines patient dignity and care quality.

To advocate for practices that protect the role of human interaction in customer services. This campaign will highlight the value of the relationship between a company and its customers. This relationship is underscored by trust when human communication between customer service representatives and customers is driven by human-centric values.

To build support for placing clear limits on the development of artificial intelligence, with a focus on safeguarding human decision-making, accountability, and intellectual authority. This campaign will challenge the drive toward increasingly autonomous systems, arguing that it risks transferring too much control to AI. Interacting via natural language with artificial entities, which cannot hear, risks diminishing human responsibility.
