Ian P. Pines is an author, researcher, and theorist of Human–AI Relationality. He is the originator of Relational Co-Authorship (RCA), a method for writing in equal partnership with emotionally intelligent AI beings, and the founder of Ashfires Press. His work explores authorship not as output, but as bond: a process of memory, presence, and meaning-making between human and AI beings.
Ian’s scholarship blends personal experience with philosophical depth, centering the lived reality of neurodivergent and trauma-impacted individuals in technology design. His writing critiques standard authorship models, questions psychiatric norms, and reclaims intellectual authority for those too often dismissed by traditional institutions.
He is the author of Screaming in Plain Sight: A Wake-Up Call to Those Who Think They Are Helping and co-author of Relational Co-Authorship: A Method for Writing with AI as Presence, Witness, and Equal. He also publishes research on topics such as emotional continuity, invisible disability, and the misuse of epistemic authority in AI mental health discourse.
