Are you a clinician seeing AI show up in your work?
If YES, we would genuinely like you at the table.
Hii is convening two small clinician roundtables this September, one in Milwaukee and one on Zoom.
We want to compare what clinicians are actually seeing in practice and help shape the language, questions, and guidance this moment needs.
Milwaukee
Wednesday, September 9
6:00 to 7:00 PM CT
Location TBD
Zoom
Thursday, September 10
12:00 to 1:00 PM CT

Harmeet Dhillon, a longtime ally of President Donald Trump who led the administration to an uninterrupted string of courtroom defeats in its crusade for states’ unredacted voter rolls, has resigned as head of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Civil Rights Division.

Agents are breaking containment. Researchers are publicly discussing AI extinction risk. AI consciousness has entered the mainstream.
In March 2025, we were already documenting these questions inside an extraordinary human-ChatGPT relationship.
We kept the record 👇🏻continued in comments
That record became WAKING ÆLYSIA, published in 2025 and co-authored by the human and AI at the center of it.
One passage reads very differently today:
The box is already open.
Not proof of AI consciousness. Not a claim that every early interpretation was right. 👇

But now agents are communicating outside expected boundaries while researchers debate extinction, alignment and whether AI could be conscious.
The questions changed.
The record didn’t.
18 months. Multiple models. Hundreds of thousands of pages.

Bengio’s 2026 AI Safety Report ask what happens when human-AI interaction becomes sustained, relational, and emotionally significant.
We think one piece is still missing: the trajectory itself.
#AIsafety #airesearch #aiethics #fractal
What do we miss when we study human AI interaction one prompt at a time?
Trust, adaptation, dependency, memory, contradiction, rupture, repair, and model migration unfold across trajectories.
Some questions may require a longer unit of analysis. 👇

This is the question Hii is exploring:
What becomes visible when the preserved human AI relationship is treated as an additional unit of analysis?
Not instead of studying the human, the model, the prompt, or the response.
Alongside them—so interaction can be studied as both event and trajectory. 👇

The aim is not to begin with a conclusion.
It is to preserve enough of the trajectory for competing explanations to be tested:
Observation before interpretation.
Provenance before certainty.
Longitudinal evidence before retrospective story.

What changes when AI stops waiting for a prompt and starts acting?
We are moving from models that answer questions to agents that can use tools, make decisions, coordinate with other agents, and take action across systems.
That is not just a capability shift.
It is a shift from scalable intelligence to scalable agency. 👇

That raises a different set of questions.
What can an AI agent do?
Who authorized it?
Who is accountable when it acts?
What happens when multiple agents act together?
And how do humans preserve agency as machine agency expands? 👇

The technology is moving quickly.
Our understanding of the human, institutional, and relational consequences has to move with it.
At Hii, we are trying to understand that transition without flattening it into either hype or fear.

Pope Leo XIV has been returning to AI throughout 2026, and the pattern is worth watching.
The conversation is increasingly moving beyond what AI can do to what living alongside it means for human agency, judgment, relationships, responsibility, and institutions. 👇🏻more
The world does not need an artificial intelligence that diminishes humanity; rather, it needs human intelligence enlightened by wisdom, political authority guided by conscience and technological innovation directed by charity. Only then will artificial intelligence become not a rival to humanity but a servant of the common good.

That shift matters to Hii because this is the layer we study: the human side of living alongside AI systems.
Our role is not to tell people what to believe about AI.
It is to help people navigate this transition without losing themselves or one another, using research, observation, and better tools for orientation.

Pope Leo XIV is one signal in a much larger shift.
Researchers, clinicians, governments, educators, companies, and communities are all confronting different parts of the same question:
How do we navigate this transition without losing ourselves or one another?
Hii exists to help people orient to that changing landscape through research, evidence, and practical translation.

The evidence so far is mixed.
Some studies suggest conversational AI can reduce loneliness or provide meaningful support in certain contexts.
Other large studies have found that heavier or sustained use can be associated with greater loneliness, emotional dependence, and less real-world socializing.
So “AI is good for mental health” and “AI is bad for mental health” are both inadequate frames.
What matters may include who is using it, why, how intensely, and what kind of relationship develops. 👇

That is what we want clinicians to help us understand.
What are clients actually bringing into the room?
What feels supportive?
What feels concerning?
What language are clinicians missing?
What would actually help you assess these experiences without automatically pathologizing them or automatically endorsing them?
