AI Rights, Human Wrongs? Join the Launch of COMPASS

Join us for the launch of COMPASS — Commons on Machines, Policy, Automation and Society  

As artificial intelligence systems grow more sophisticated, a provocative question has entered legal and philosophical debate: should AI itself be granted rights or other protections? But for many, a prior question demands attention: what does AI governance that genuinely serves human and planetary well-being look like? COMPASS launches with an open conversation that invites us to explore both.

COMPASS is a new initiative housed at the Center and dedicated to bridging the growing gap between rapidly advancing AI and the legal, ethical, and policy frameworks needed to govern it.
