Connecting principles with practice.
A professional working in insurance and information technology in Luxembourg, Steve Cimolino founded the AI Rights project.
His approach combines a framework of ten principles with reflection on changes in society. It is intended for curious citizens, teachers and professionals who want to start a discussion about the uses of AI.
Moving from the website to a book allows the arguments to be developed, the principles to be tested against concrete situations and objections to be examined.
Learn about Steve CimolinoEditorial approach
Three distinct kinds of content.
Facts and law
Information should be linked to its source, date and scope. Legal texts should be consulted in their official versions.
Analysis and proposals
The charter is a citizen-led proposal. Its principles are open to discussion, objections and examination in context.
Fiction and future scenarios
Scenarios and thought experiments are presented as such. They allow possibilities to be explored without presenting them as facts.
The project uses artificial intelligence to help structure and enrich some content. Steve Cimolino remains responsible for its approach and proposals.
Get involved
Read, question, share.
Start with the ten articles. Choose a principle, test it against a situation and formulate an objection or a suggestion for improvement. You can also share the project and explore the community discussions on the original website.
A few key questions.
Does the charter have legal force?
It is a citizen-led proposal by the author. It is not presented as a law or a text adopted by an international organisation.
What does “AI Rights” mean in this project?
The title connects two questions: protecting people in relation to AI use, and considering, conditionally, the criteria for possible protection of an artificial intelligence.
