We are launching an AI for Individual Rights program at HRF
Excited to see how we can apply learnings from working with Bitcoin and open source tools to this field
Details and application link for the new director position below 👇
---
The Human Rights Foundation is embarking on a multi-year plan to create a pioneering AI for Individual Rights program to help steer the world’s AI industry and tools away from repression, censorship, and surveillance, and towards individual freedom.
HRF is now seeking a Director of AI for Individual Rights to lead this work. Apply today with a cover letter describing why you are a good fit for this role, as well as a resume and names of three individuals you would suggest as references.
This initiative comes at a moment where AI tools made by the Chinese Communist Party are some of the best in the world, and are displacing tools made by corporations and associations inside liberal democracies. This also comes at a moment where open-source AI tools have never been more powerful, and the opportunities to use AI tools to strengthen and expand the work that dissidents do inside authoritarian regimes have never had more potential. When citizens are holding their governments accountable, they should use the most advanced technology possible.
There are many “AI ethics” working groups, associations, non-profits, industry papers, and centers already extant, but zero have a focus on authoritarian regimes. Many are bought off by the Chinese government, and refuse to criticize the Chinese government’s role in using AI for repression in the Uyghur region, in Tibet, in Hong Kong, and elsewhere. Others are influenced by the Saudi or Russian governments and hold their tongue on too many issues. Others still are very close to the US government and must mind a different set of political alliances.
HRF will establish the first fully-sovereign program, liberated to monitor and expose AI being used by autocrats as a tool of repression and also support open-source AI tools in the hands of dissidents, especially those laboring under tyranny.
Critically, this program will not be oriented towards preventing “superintelligence” risk or concerned with an AGI becoming catastrophically powerful. While those might be worthy efforts, this program will be entirely focused on tracking and challenging how authoritarian regimes are using AI and helping spark the proliferation of open-source tools that can empower and liberate individuals.

I don't know why we can't just have memes and gifs right in amethyst, doesn't seem that hard, or maybe they don't want to. Maybe nprofile1qqstuu6ccnl9q9yvejhuqt4zqhvqz30z2wyf4gu43k404p3hq37ggrspz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmchk5d43 could help implement gif buddy into clients.

This is so cool! Asteroid Bennu contain all 5 of nucleobases that form DNA and RNA on Earth and 14 of 20 amino acids found in living organisms. All of that without ever coming close to Earth. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-024-02472-9
