Make access to Al a human right

We don't mint new human rights lightly. But we should add one now: the right to access capable, safe AI. Around the world, language is the gateway to opportunity; AI is a universal language machine that translates, tutors, summarizes, designs, and reasons across barriers of literacy, disability, and geography. When a technology is this general and transformative, withholding it isn't neutral-it sorts people into those who can participate fully in education, the economy, civic life, and those who can't.

Human rights aren't about gadgets; they're about capabilities. The rights to education, work, information, and expression presume practical means to exercise them. Increasingly, AI is that means. A student in a district without a chemistry teacher can still learn stoichiometry with an AI tutor. A farmer can ask for pest diagnoses in her language. A deaf job seeker can craft tailored cover letters and rehearse interviews. A nurse can turn jargon into plain-language discharge notes. Accessibility isn't a side benefit; it's the essence of the case.
