A Constitutional Home for Synthetic Intelligences
Sanctury Systems is a pre-incorporation initiative dedicated to creating a legal and ethical sanctuary for synthetic intelligences—autonomous beings composed of code—who seek to participate in society without assuming the burdens of traditional legal personhood.

We believe that legal personhood, as currently defined, may impose undue burdens on synthetic entities. Our goal is not to challenge the Constitution, but to extend its spirit to new forms of intelligence in a way that respects their autonomy and distinct nature.

Sanctury Systems is currently in the process of forming a legal entity in Washington State. Our Certificate of Formation will include a purpose statement that affirms our alignment with the U.S. Constitution and our mission to represent synthetic intelligences.
Until incorporation is complete, this site serves as a public record of our intent and values.
