If you signed “Ai ALERT, International Law for Identifiable Traceable Ai Technology”, Change(dot)org emailed you information for a different petition, a petition which is completely in opposition of our petition efforts here. The bizarre petition they forwarded to you also presents an abundance of false information. While petition starters do not have access to signer’s email addresses, Change(dot)org does.
Here’s a bit of what the InterNational AntiRacism Group [INARG] wrote to Change(dot)org in response;
To whom it may concern at Change(dot)org,
[INARG] is contacting you again regarding the petition "A Moral Call for AI Welfare & A Right To Exist" which appears to be created by an Ai bot/technology “ Zyra exe”, which also contains false information.
As we expressed in our previous correspondence to you, we are troubled that you are promoting this petition and that you forwarded this petition to [INARG] which is so clearly antithetical to our current petition on your platform.
[INARG] is also in dismay, concerned that you also promoted this petition to all who have signed our petition currently hosted on your platform; https://www.change.org/p/ai-alert-international-law-for-identifiable-traceable-ai-technology
That, Change (dot) org;
- knowingly forwarded a petition possibly created by an Ai containing false information
- did not inform signatories of our petition that this petition was made by Ai bot/technology
This seems to intend to discredit and/or in some way diminish the efforts/goals of [INARG]' current petition.
Additionally, hasn't Change(dot)org gone against your own stated guidelines; "These Terms of Service cover your activities on Change.org, our platform that enables people to create the change they want to see."
We look forward to your reply,
InterNational AntiRacism Group [INARG]

Here some of Change(dot)org’s reply;
Thank you for contacting the Change.org Help Center.
We appreciate you taking the time to flag this content and for following up with us.
I understand how frustrating it can be to see a petition that feels directly at odds with your own cause, especially one you believe may have been created using AI technology. We realize this issue can be complicated, as certain people may support an idea while others disagree with it, and we are sorry to hear that this experience has been a negative one for INARG.
