The First Psychosecurity Summit

Confronting AI-Driven Zersetzung

Late 2026 · By Invitation

Purpose

Drawing the line

The systematic psychological decomposition of individuals — pioneered by the Stasi as Zersetzung, and judged criminal by history — is becoming scalable through artificial intelligence. Existing international law arguably already prohibits it. Until the line is drawn explicitly, enforcement is impossible and proliferation continues unchecked.

The First Psychosecurity Summit convenes an invited circle of practitioners, researchers, legal scholars, and policy specialists to draw that line: a shared vocabulary distinguishing legitimate influence from psychological decomposition, and a signable declaration grounding AI-driven Zersetzung in existing international law.

This is a working session, not a conference. No panels, no keynotes, no audience — a single room, producing an operational framework.

Output

The Psychosecurity Framework

The summit works from prepared drafts toward six adopted elements:

1

Taxonomy

Classifying cognitive operations, from legitimate influence to prohibited decomposition.

2

Ethics Redlines

A graduated scale of operational acceptability with internal safeguards.

3

Escalation Thresholds

When cognitive attack merits state-level response.

4

Attribution Framework

Evidence standards for identifying and answering cognitive attacks.

5

Industry Accountability

Keeping commercial AI capabilities from becoming cognitive weapons.

6

The Declaration

A signable statement grounding AI-driven Zersetzung in existing international law.

Method

How it works

The summit is held under the Chatham House Rule, with a clear protocol separating what is said (never attributed), what is produced (attributable only to the summit collectively), and who endorses it (a separate, deliberate act after the event, through each participant's own channels).

Adoption in the room is ad referendum: the session agrees text, and signatures follow. The framework and declaration will then be published for wider endorsement, with a public launch event to follow.

The summit is organised by EURAIO, the European AI & Robotics Organisation, a responsible-AI non-profit, and funded by the Survival and Flourishing Fund. There is no cost to participants or their organisations.

Participation

By invitation

Every seat is selected for a specific contribution. If you believe your expertise belongs in the room — or you wish to support the initiative with introductions, resources, or endorsement — we would be glad to hear from you.
