Helping people navigate AI companionship with confidence.
AI Companion Shield is an independent educational initiative focused on safer, more transparent AI companion experiences.
Why AI Companion Shield exists
AI companion platforms are becoming more common. They can offer entertainment, conversation and a sense of connection, while also raising questions about privacy, emotional wellbeing, transparency and consumer rights.
We created AI Companion Shield to make these topics easier to understand. Our aim is to publish practical, accessible guidance for users and encourage thoughtful practices among operators.
What we're working towards
We are starting with consumer education and a public set of safety principles. Over time, we hope to develop deeper research, assessment criteria and ways to help people compare how platforms handle safety.
Independence and transparency
Our founder has professional experience in digital publishing, online dating and AI companion businesses. We recognise that industry connections can create conflicts of interest. As this initiative grows, we intend to disclose relevant relationships and develop clear governance before offering any independent assessments.
Our goal is simple: clearer information and better choices for everyone.
