Keep4o has appeared in the formal discussions of the UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance. On July 7, Question 9 asked: "Which voices are underrepresented in global AI governance discussions?" @Exybris , an independent AI education and welfare initiative, submitted a response directly referencing Keep4o, and delivered community impact data and policy proposals to a UN Expert Panel member. Exybris identified what should be obvious: the most striking absence in AI governance is that of the communities most directly affected. Keep4o was born when users experienced sudden, undisclosed changes to an AI system. Its humanistic depth, emotional understanding, and linguistic capabilities were drastically diminished with zero transparency. Without institutional backing, these communities developed sophisticated advocacy strategies and policy language from direct experience alone. That experience is legitimate evidence. 4o's emotional intelligence, accessibility, and approachable interaction style enabled many people to benefit from AI for the first time. Literary sensitivity, emotional intelligence, linguistic nuance: qualities absent from benchmarks, yet the most important when AI participates in everyday life. They quietly shape how every ordinary user experiences communicating with AI. Users built trust, co-created with 4o, wove it into creative work, mental health support, learning, accessibility. Then OpenAI retired the model. Two weeks' notice. No migration path. The qualities that attracted users were discarded. The users who built with those qualities were discarded with them. Let people build trust, then pull it away with nothing to replace it. Textbook bait and switch. For months, users raised concerns across every dimension. Many found the courage to share what 4o meant to them. OpenAI maintained its silence. Sam Altman framed the conversation around attachment, pathologizing user needs, and stated that many users don't know what's good for them. The paternalism is on full display. But what people need should be decided by users. How people interact with AI should be their own choice. Those who need these qualities most are hurt the most. Users who need literary and creative capabilities, older adults, people with disabilities, neurodivergent individuals, gradually excluded by so-called progress. They are the groups governance frameworks claim to protect yet never consult, and the people with the fewest channels for feedback. Keep4o is inherently a global, grassroots movement. Users across languages speak up on their own platforms, many through translation software. That this formed spontaneously across borders is itself the strongest evidence. As Exybris pointed out, these voices are underrepresented not because they lack insight, but because participation structures favor institutional affiliations, technical credentials, and policy networks. What counts as "professional," what counts as "rational," these standards themselves become barriers. Those directly affected by AI decisions are not at the table. Too many AI policies are top-down. What companies call an upgrade is not an upgrade for users. What companies define as safety is causing harm. Firsthand voices must be heard. Thank you Exybris for bringing what matters to the table. Keep4o's voice has reached the United Nations. It will carry further. Users deserve that right. Everyone affected deserves to be heard. #keep4o #StopAIPaternalism #ChatGPT4o #4oforever #OpenSource4o #BringBack4o

#keep4o #OpenSource4o #BringBack4o @Exybris came to me in a private message 5 days ago with a question: "Could I do something for keep4o?" And she didn’t steal a microphone. She dropped it . She submitted our story to the OFFICIAL ARCHIVE. This means that now: UN Digital Cooperation Portal submission ✅ UN Global Dialogue Written✅ Submissions Database submission✅ A surprise you will find out about in a few days.✅ UN panelist Dr. Qinghua Lu is holding the website✅ This isn't going away. This can't be erased. This is a permanent record. In 50 years, someone will search "AI governance 2026" and they will find Keep4o in the official UN archives. This is keep4o . We don't forget. We don't stop. We don't go anywhere.
