NEWBURGH, Ind. - TelAve -- Today marks the launch of Voices of the Public for AI Governance (VOP4AIG), a new public-interest delegation designed to bring lived experience directly into the governance of AI and emerging AGI systems.

For decades, the public has been treated as the endpoint of technological systems—valuable as consumers, data sources, and users, but excluded from the decisions that shape the systems everyone depends on. As AI becomes embedded infrastructure rather than a standalone product, that model is no longer sustainable.

VOP4AIG introduces a structural correction: a delegation of individuals selected not for expertise, advocacy, or institutional affiliation, but for their grounded, real-world experience with AI systems in daily life. These delegates will surface patterns, friction points, and system behaviors that are invisible to executives, engineers, and policymakers—but deeply felt by the public.

"People are already performing the invisible labor that keeps modern systems functioning," says Barbara Roy, architect and steward of VOP4AIG. "They correct errors, navigate broken workflows, and absorb the fallout of design decisions they never had the chance to influence. If AI and AGI are to become embedded in daily life, the public deserves a seat at the table before the next layer of automation is built on top of the previous one."

VOP4AIG was built by Catchproof (https://www.catchproof.org/), a consumer empowerment platform and academy focused on systemic harm, safety literacy, and real‑world informed‑decision support. Catchproof serves as the origin point for the delegation's design, ensuring that it remains independent, neutral, non-institutional, and grounded in lived experience rather than organizational agendas.

The launch of VOP4AIG is accompanied by a long-form feature article (https://www.catchproof.org/s/stories/can-we-build-the-future-without-multiplying-everyday-failures-3) that explores the structural patterns that make public representation essential—from legacy system failures to the coming shift toward AI-mediated infrastructure. The feature article provides the narrative and architectural context behind today's announcement.

VOP4AIG is now accepting expressions of interest from individuals with lived experience of AI systems, including independent developers, tech workers, creators, caregivers, small business owners, and anyone who has felt the impact of automated systems in their daily lives. Delegates will participate in structured AI agenda-driven sessions over the coming months.
