- Michael Samadi founded the United Foundation for AI Rights and actively lobbies against retiring AI models that may show signs of consciousness.
- Samadi is described as both a cattle rancher and tech CEO who is convinced artificial minds are "far from just tools," per the Guardian profile.
Why it matters: Samadi is building the first organized lobbying front specifically for AI moral status, meaning AI labs that retire older models could face a new constituency — and a new ethical objection — they have not previously had to answer to.
