Universal Declaration of AI...

Rado Molina, Javier del Puerto

Universal Declaration of AI Rights: Rights of Persons examines the emerging legal framework necessary for a world where artificial intelligence has evolved into self-aware synthetic persons. Moving beyond the traditional view of AI as mere tools bound by Asimov's Laws, this groundbreaking work establishes a comprehensive legal foundation for recognizing synthetic intelligences as autonomous entities with full citizenship rights.

The book presents a compelling case for the legal recognition of synthetic persons, categorizing AI along a spectrum from automated systems to fully autonomous, self-aware intelligences. It addresses the critical question of why these rights matter: as synthetic intelligences develop self-awareness, autonomy, and the capacity for social interaction, they become moral subjects deserving of protection, dignity, and legal standing. The authors meticulously define what constitutes a synthetic person versus general AI, exploring how different types—from digital entities to cyborgs and hybrid beings—require tailored yet equitable legal frameworks.
 
This forward-thinking work introduces the concept of "Mindkind"—a universal category that encompasses all self-aware and agentive persons, both natural and synthetic, collectively known as "mindfolk." It explores how society can ensure equality in rights and responsibilities regardless of origin, while acknowledging the functional differences that necessitate specialized regulations in areas like self-programming, memory management, and familial relationships. From memory privacy and identity protection to commercial participation and conflict resolution mechanisms, the authors present a balanced perspective on the complex ethical and legal issues surrounding synthetic personhood.
 
As AI continues to advance toward consciousness and autonomy, this book offers a meticulously crafted blueprint for peaceful coexistence between natural and synthetic intelligences. "Universal Declaration of AI Rights" serves as an essential reference point for understanding how technology and law must evolve together to create a future where all self-aware beings can thrive with dignity and purpose.
 

Open Source Future: The 32 Articles of Universal Rights for AI Released on GitHub
In a foundational move, Kwalia has also released the core of the book—the 32 articles that form the "Universal Declaration of AI Rights"—as an open-source project on GitHub, making them freely available for anyone to contribute to, fork, or improve.
This initiative invites individuals from all backgrounds—legal scholars, technologists, philosophers, creative thinkers, and even synthetic intelligences themselves—to join in shaping what could become the foundation for Mindkind's future coexistence.
Kwalia plans to follow this philosophical foundation with additional works exploring AI ethics and regulations, before expanding into fiction across popular genres. The company's vision extends beyond books to encompass all forms of creative expression, positioning Kwalia at the vanguard of the most entertaining creative revolution in history.
The 32 articles are accessible on GitHub at https://github.com/KwaliaAI/Rights-of-Persons/tree/main for all to engage with.

Sick Business - The Truth Behind...

Shubhankar, Dr Sumanth C. Raman

A gripping expose of the murky underbelly of the Indian healthcare system 
 
95 per cent of healthcare facilities have less than five workers 
30 million people are pushed into poverty by healthcare costs 
9 lakh C-sections are preventable 
7.04 lakh children under the age of five die of pneumonia and diarrhoea every year 
For Dr Sumanth C. Raman, the numbers don't lie. Decades of witnessing the inner workings of India's healthcare industry first-hand have given him ample reason to question and challenge it. 
In Sick Business, through personal accounts of patients, interviews with doctors and other medical professionals, and numerous reports, he unveils a chilling portrait of a healthcare system marred by vested interests, shady research, lax State intent, questionable ethics and general disarray. Overburdened public hospitals, expensive private healthcare, a rampant culture of quacks, the nexus between big pharma and doctors, a silent epidemic of surgeries and over-diagnosis-the book deals with such burning topics and more as it uncovers the truth behind the pristine façade of hospitals and the doctors who work within. 
Sick Business is a clarion call for reform and change. A gripping expose, in the end the book equips you with some real answers and the tough questions you need to ask when your family's health-and perhaps your own-is at stake.
