Pledge Human

Projects

Humans working on hard things.

These are adaptable placeholder structures, not existing programmes. They describe how a Pledge Human project would work — including how an idea moves from being shaped to being organised around.

Nothing here exists yet

How an idea graduates.

Every project page follows the same shape, so an idea can move forward in public rather than disappearing into meeting notes. Participation figures will appear here once real sessions have run — we won't invent them.

  1. Stage 1

    Shaping

    Working out what might be worth doing.

    Listening, imagining, challenging and refining with the people affected.

    • What people told us
    • Competing perspectives
    • Open questions
  2. Stage 2

    Proposal

    A written answer strong enough to be argued with.

    The problem, the evidence, the proposed model, and what remains unresolved.

    • The problem
    • Evidence
    • Proposed model
    • Unresolved questions
  3. Stage 3

    Organising

    Making it real.

    Support the proposal, join the coalition, offer expertise, pilot it, fund research.

    • Coalition
    • Pilots
    • Submissions
    • Contacting decision-makers

Human Work

Proposed

“When productivity rises, who receives the difference?”

Why it matters
Automation decisions are being made workplace by workplace, usually without the people doing the work in the room.

Drafting plain-language questions workers can ask their employer.
People involved
Open — workers, union organisers, economists, managers.
How to contribute
Share what changed at your workplace this year.

Children + AI

Proposed

“What should childhood keep, whatever the technology can do?”

Why it matters
Schools, toy makers and app stores are setting defaults now that kids will grow up inside.
Current activity
Collecting the questions parents actually want answered.
People involved
Open — parents, teachers, paediatricians, students.
How to contribute
Tell us what your school has decided, and how.

Human Creativity

Proposed

“What is human-made work worth once machines can generate anything?”

Why it matters
Creative livelihoods are being repriced faster than any rules can keep up.
Current activity
Mapping where credit and payment break down.
People involved
Open — illustrators, writers, musicians, lawyers.
How to contribute
Send an example of work being replaced or uncredited.

Human Communities

Proposed

“What should a town receive for hosting the infrastructure?”

Why it matters
Land, power and water are local. The benefits are usually not.
Current activity
Building a template list of community asks.
People involved
Open — residents, councillors, engineers, planners.
How to contribute
Tell us what was promised where you live.

Technology + Democracy

Proposed

“How do ordinary people get into decisions this fast-moving?”

Why it matters
Consultation processes were designed for a slower world.
Current activity
Testing formats for citizen conversations that actually feed in.
People involved
Open — anyone who has tried to participate and found it hard.
How to contribute
Describe a time you tried to have a say.
