Digital Brain Rights Research

We systematically review literature and develop frameworks to analyze the legal and ethical implications of digital brains and their human rights.

A crowd of people, some holding signs, are participating in a protest. Among them is a person dressed in a robot costume with a sign that reads 'Wir sind die Bots.' The atmosphere is busy and filled with various signs with messages related to digital rights.

A futuristic and digital-themed image features a stylized circuit board with the words 'Open AI' in bold, glowing letters. Above it is a design that resembles an AI or robot face with neon accents. The background consists of a network of interconnected blue lines and nodes, suggesting themes of technology and connectivity.

Our Mission Statement

We propose policy frameworks and evaluate models to support the recognition of digital brains as entitled to basic human rights.

Legal Evaluation Models
A protest sign made from cardboard is held up, displaying bold red text opposing a surveillance system, digital ID, and social credit system. It is surrounded by trees, people, and a street sign.

Design models to analyze digital brains' legal and ethical rights.

A vibrant mural painted on the exterior wall of a building. The mural features bold graphics and text related to social justice and civil rights. It includes an image of a person using a large video camera, surrounded by various text excerpts about rights and justice. The words 'KNOW YOUR RIGHTS' are prominently displayed on the mural. The artwork is a mix of colorful geometric shapes and monochrome drawings of people.

A digital artwork depicts a futuristic, abstract human face with metallic and glass textures. The left side of the head includes a shiny, gold-like surface, while the right side is transparent with visible internal structures. Intricate tribal or symbolic patterns cover the face, adding a mysterious and artistic element.
