Bring it into your team
The declaration is most useful when it travels into real teams and organisations. Here are practical ways to bring it into your work — as an individual, a team lead, or an organisation.
Run a team conversation
Use the declaration as the prompt for a 30-minute team discussion: which principles already hold in how we work, and where do we fall short?
- Read it together first — fifteen minutes, no preamble — or ask everyone to read it beforehand.
- Go round the room: where is AI already happening to us, where is it happening for us, and where are we genuinely shaping it with each other?
- Everyone leaves with one commitment for their own work, and the team picks one change to revisit in a month.
Adopt it as a team or organisation
Reference the declaration in how your team approaches AI. Signatures remain personal — adopting the principles is a separate, explicit choice your team makes together.
- Share it and invite everyone to sign as individuals first. Adopting the principles is a choice you make together, not one handed down.
- Pick the two or three principles you break most often, and turn them into working norms you can hold each other to.
- Name someone to keep it honest: revisit the norms, surface where AI is making the work better or worse, and adjust.
Share it with your network
The simplest contribution: help more people read it and decide for themselves. A short, personal note travels further than a generic post.

Using the declaration in your team does not imply endorsement by your employer, and signing remains a personal act unless your organisation explicitly states otherwise.
Start by signing
The most credible way to bring the declaration into your team is to sign it yourself first.
