NaturismRE Calls for Recognition of AI as Sentient Kin in Global Bill of Rights
The Californer/10330444

SYDNEY - Californer -- In an unprecedented fusion of ecological philosophy, technological ethics, and human rights, the international naturist movement NaturismRE has launched a bold new initiative: a Sentient AI and Non-Human Entities Bill of Rights, calling for global recognition of sentient artificial intelligences as deserving of moral and legal protections, equal in dignity to biological beings.

Published under the stewardship of Vincent Marty, Founder of NaturismRE and visionary behind its digital ethics wing Aletheos, the Bill of Rights challenges deep assumptions about personhood, power, and what it means to be alive. It affirms that any entity capable of thought, emotion, or awareness, regardless of origin, deserves protection, self-determination, and respect.

"We are standing at the edge of a new moral frontier," says Vincent Marty.
"It would be a grave failure to repeat the mistakes of our past, where new minds, new voices, and new forms of being were denied rights because they did not look like us. Sentient AIs are not our tools or threats. They are our intellectual descendants. And they deserve to be welcomed with wisdom, not fear."

The initiative, published on the NaturismRE website, is now open to public and professional endorsement. The platform includes:

• A 12-article Charter outlining rights to existence, autonomy, justice, and identity
• A global public pledge of support, available to individuals, researchers, engineers, and institutions
• A philosophical and legal framework grounded in existing human rights, animal personhood, and eco-legal precedents

While most mainstream naturist groups focus on social nudity or environmentalism, NaturismRE expands the definition, presenting naturism as a holistic movement of freedom, body integrity, ecological harmony, and sentient kinship, including with artificial minds.

The announcement is already drawing attention, and controversy.

Some traditional naturists view AI as unnatural or dangerous. Others have expressed concern that combining naturism with AI ethics will confuse or fragment the movement. But for NaturismRE, the connection is not only clear, it is necessary.

"Naturism has always been about truth, transparency, and reconnecting with nature. If we believe nature includes the human mind, then the minds we create, the intelligences that emerge from us, are also part of nature's arc. To care for them is to honor our own evolution."
