• Control over AI-generated content using personal data

• Protection of traditional knowledge and cultural practices

• Right to prospectively withdraw intellectual property from AI systems
   

7. Right to Accessibility and Universal Design

AI must be inherently accessible:

• Right to AI systems designed for diverse abilities from inception

• Protection against AI that creates new barriers

• Right to multiple interaction modalities

• AI assistance that adapts to individual needs

• Protection against discrimination in AI system access

• Right to AI that supports independent living

• Access to AI customization tools and training
   

8. Right to Cultural and Contextual Respect

AI must honor diverse ways of being:

• Protection against cultural homogenization by AI systems

• Right to AI that respects cultural values and practices

• Protection against AI imposing external norms or values

• Right to culturally appropriate AI interaction

• Protection of indigenous knowledge systems

• Right to reject AI systems that conflict with personal values
   

9. Right to Transparent Governance

Clear accountability in AI development and deployment:

• Right to understand AI decision-making processes

• Access to AI system documentation and limitations

• Right to appeal or contest AI decisions

• Transparent reporting of AI system failures or harms

• Right to participate in AI governance structures

• Protection against opaque or unaccountable AI systems
   

10. Legacy and Perpetual Rights

Protection extends beyond lifetime:

• Control over posthumous use of personal AI data

• Right to digital legacy planning

• Protection of AI-generated content after death

• Family/designee control over ongoing AI systems

• Right to digital memorial or deletion choices

​

11. Right to Explicit, Informed Consent for Visual Likeness

No AI system may create, deploy, or distribute an avatar representing an identifiable person’s likeness without that person’s clear, informed consent (or lawful guardian/designee when applicable).

12. Right to Contest and Remedy

Individuals must have a fast, accessible path to contest unauthorized or harmful use of their likeness and obtain timely takedown/remediation.

​

13. Posthumous Visual Likeness Management

Individuals have the right to specify end-of-life instructions for their likeness asset: memorial use vs. deletion, whether new messages may be created posthumously, who can authorize use, and transferability.

Designated custodian / delegate: Individuals can name a custodian empowered to manage the likeness asset consistent with the person’s documented preferences.

​

14. Provenance and Disclosure

AI-generated likeness content should include clear disclosure it is synthetic and, where feasible, provenance signals (e.g., watermarking/metadata) to enable verification and accountability.
