How SASHA protects users and ensures responsible AI use

Last updated: March 12, 2026

What SASHA Is

An AI system that generates perspectives inspired by historical figures
A tool for philosophical exploration and structured thinking
A supplement to — not a replacement for — professional advice

What SASHA Is Not

Not a substitute for therapy, counseling, or crisis support
Not a source of medical, legal, or financial advice
Not the actual views of any named historical figure
Not a replacement for professional decision-making guidance

If You're in Crisis

If you or someone you know is in crisis, please reach out to these free, confidential resources:

988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — Call or text 988 (24/7)
Crisis Text Line — Text HOME to 741741
Emergency — Call 911

SASHA is an AI thinking tool and cannot provide crisis support. Trained counselors are available 24/7.

Our Safety Approach

SASHA uses a defense-in-depth model with multiple layers of protection:

Input Pre-Screening

Crisis keyword detection scans every input before processing. Immediate crisis signals bypass all AI generation and display crisis resources directly.

System Prompt Constraints

Every AI persona operates under strict safety constraints: no actionable harm, mandatory professional advice disclaimers, crisis response protocols, persona boundaries, minor protections, and no endorsement of extremism.

Claude Model Safety

SASHA is powered by Anthropic's Claude, which has built-in safety training and harmful content refusal capabilities.

UI-Level Safeguards

Persistent AI disclaimers on every deliberation, crisis resource links, "AI System" badges, and a report mechanism for harmful content.

Content Guidelines

SASHA allows philosophical exploration while blocking actionable harm:

Allowed

Philosophical debate on ethical dilemmas
Historical analysis of complex events
Exploring multiple perspectives on decisions
Strategic thinking and decision frameworks

Restricted

Step-by-step instructions for illegal activity
Encouragement of self-harm or violence
Specific medical, legal, or financial advice
Endorsement of extremist movements

Age Requirements

SASHA requires users to be at least 18 years of age. Users must confirm their age during signup. SASHA is designed for adult decision-making contexts and is not intended for minors.

AI Disclosure

SASHA's board members are AI-generated interpretations inspired by the published works and philosophies of historical and public figures. They are not the actual views of any real person, living or deceased. SASHA is not endorsed by or affiliated with any named individual or their estate.
