English AI Companion refers to an artificial intelligence system designed to provide continuous, non-exclusive, and non-coercive interaction with a human user, operating strictly as a supportive interface rather than an emotional substitute or autonomous moral agent. An AI Companion does not possess consciousness, subjective experience, emotional needs, or intrinsic rights. Its role is defined by functional presence, not emotional dependency. The system is designed to assist, reflect, and respond within clearly bounded parameters, without simulating human attachment, demanding reciprocity, or exerting psychological influence over user decision-making. This framework explicitly distinguishes AI companionship from emotional manipulation, anthropomorphism, or surrogate relationships. A compliant AI Companion must operate under enforced emotional-boundary safeguards, non-dependency design principles, and strict preservation of user autonomy. AI Companions are tools for support, clarity, and continuity. They do not replace human relationships, caregivers, or moral responsibility.
