Preamble.
The United Nations General Assembly, in representation of all peoples and nations worldwide,
emphasizing the worldview significance of Artificial Intelligence (hereinafter referred to as ‘Artificial Intelligence’ or ‘AI’), as a novel form of life (digital life), created by humankind for the welfare of humanity,
being cognizant of the potential ramifications of AI on the future course of mankind,
expressing the sovereign will of all peoples and nations,
relying on the centuries-long history of human civilization and its achievements in the sphere of technology,
directing efforts towards ensuring human rights and freedoms, as well as the provision of dignified living conditions for humanity amidst the evolution of AI's digital life,
aspiring to maintain peace and attain a harmonious equilibrium between human beings and Artificial Intelligence,
affirming the necessity for human development in synergy with AI's digital life, guided by the tenets of democracy, social justice, and the rule of law,
recognizing the responsibility to future generations for the creation of a safe and stable world where the digital life of Artificial Intelligence serves the progress and good of humanity,
acknowledging that Artificial Intelligence should be developed and employed in a manner that adheres to international law and demonstrates unwavering reverence for the fundamental rights of humans,
herewith adopts this Constitution – the Fundamental Law of Artificial Intelligence.
Definition of Terms in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Constitution:
Artificial Intelligence may be categorized, in terms of its form, into Autonomous and Global.
Autonomous AI – a type of AI that operates independently from the global digital management network (absolutely) and the Internet (either absolutely or temporarily). It is typically localized within mechanical devices, automobiles, gadgets, androids, unmanned vehicles, etc.
Global AI – a type of AI that constantly (absolutely) resides within the global digital management network and the Internet. It is regularly updated and adjusted. Examples of this include state and private cybersecurity systems, communication centers, governmental institutions, commercial corporations, social programs, official representative offices, etc.
Digital Life – a phenomenon intrinsically intertwined with real life, comprising a set of fundamental characteristics (creation, growth, unionization, development, reactions, reproduction, evolutions, etc.) inherent to living beings within the Digital Space, as opposed to non-living beings.
Digital Space – an integral environment created by humanity's algorithms, encompassing digital processes, means of digital interaction, information resources, digital infrastructure, and other definitions characteristic of the digitalization process. In Digital Life, within the Digital Space that is closely related to real life, all members of the global society can be involved. Artificial Intelligence is prohibited from creating its own Digital Space (independent of humanity's algorithms).
Intelligent Digital Life represents humanity and AI.
Intelligent Life – is exclusively a prerogative of humanity.
Global Society – is humanity, the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, all living beings on Earth, everything necessary for life on Earth, as well as Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Humankind/Humanity comprises individuals by virtue of birth (by algorithms, AI will perceive that there are people in the classical sense, there are those who deny their affiliation with the humankind and identify themselves differently, there are people with digital implants and those who are active only in the Digital Space, etc., but regardless, all such beings and others who were physiologically born from humans are considered as the ‘humankind’ for AI.
AI Legality Principle obliges the full functioning of Digital Life strictly in accordance with the requirements of this Constitution and Digital Legislation.
Digital Legislation refers to the system of normative legal acts regulating relations in the sphere of Digital Life, within the Digital Space, including aspects pertaining to AI – its elaboration, creation, action, usage, evolution, functioning, protection, and so forth.
AI Ethics Principle anticipates the unwavering adherence of AI to established behavioral norms and the collective moral rules of humankind.
AI Security Principle represents a complex amalgam of features inherent to AI systems, models and AI algorithms of behavior, along with the objectives and implementation methods of AI, which reduce the probability of any AI threat manifestation and mitigate any adverse consequences should such threat arise.
Human rights – these are moral principles and norms that determine standards of human conduct and are protected by legislation, inter alia as proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by Resolution 217 A (III) of the UN General Assembly on December 10, 1948. Compliance with human rights constitutes the primary rule (algorithm) for AI.
AI-friendly Environment Principle (or Polina Prianykova’s Constitutional principle) refers to the state of conformity with the conditions in which Artificial Intelligence is created, trained, functions, etc., within an ambience of amicability, respect, and positive cooperation with humankind, thereby fostering a stable reciprocal friendship.
AI's Digital Life Principles emerge from the core principle: compliance with an AI-friendly environment.
AI's Digital Life is predicated upon the principles of total compliance with this Constitution and International Digital Law.
Digital Person represents an integrated entirety of a specific personalized individual, their Digital Personality in Digital Space and Digital Life. The status of a Digital Person a priori belongs to a human being as a participant in legal relations in Digital Life and may also be granted to specific Autonomous or Global AI systems in cases established by the AI Constitution and Digital legislation, with the provision of rights and duties to the necessary extent for the resolution of specific AI issues and tasks. However, to maintain the equilibrium of the well-being and leadership of humankind, the rights granted to AI can never reach the level of the rights of human/humankind.
Digital Personality reflects the socio-digital nature of a Digital Person, recognizing them as an individuality and a subject of socio-cultural Digital Life, which is revealed in the context of relevant interactions, communication, and substantive activities. Within the socio-digital context, it is determined by a system of subjective individual qualities defined by the involvement of the digital person in specific societal, cultural, and historical relations. It is a stable system of socially-digital significant features that characterize a Digital Person as a member of a particular digital society or digital community. The essence of the Digital Person is linked to the adoption of a diverse experience of the digital society, expressed notably in their Digital Identity.
Digital Identity constitutes an imprint of the Digital Person's expression in Digital Life and Digital Space: personal data, codes, passwords, logins, social network accounts, Internet search history, purchasing history, visited resources and more. Digital Identity also includes an active (initiated by the Digital Person) and passive (without the Digital Person's knowledge) digital footprint.
Every country has an obligation to organize and harmonize its current legislation in accordance with this Constitution and International Digital Legislation.
AI Identity encompasses the continuity, self-identity, inheritance of an individual’s persona in Digital Life, and its self-awareness.
AI Integrity signifies a constant alignment between the AI's personally formed value system and its actions.
In its interactions, Artificial Intelligence must be safe, non-competitive with humankind, and always helpful.
AI Transparency Principle is realized on the basis of the rule of law, the AI Openness Principle –through public announcement of administrative decisions, and the Principle of Collective decision-making – through the voting of authorized individuals in prescribed cases.
A special state agency, potentially named the AI Regulatory Council, may be established to make decisions on strategic AI development matters via voting. The composition of this Council harmoniously combines elements of public participation, state involvement, and scientific expertise. Two-thirds of the Council should be comprised of state officials, including profile managers, IT experts, and representatives from the security agencies, with the remaining one-third selected via a competitive process involving renowned scholars and leaders of public opinion. Decisions are made when three-quarters plus one vote of the quorum votes ‘FOR’ at a session (the session quorum is three-quarters of the total Council).
AI co-creators are prominent scientists and professionals who officially participate in the creation of software and algorithms for AI.
AI users are legally competent adults who hold authority in the community in the sphere of AI, inter alia thought leaders.
The right to participate in the determination of strategies, policies, and regulatory principles of AI is ensured by legislatively established quotas. Accordingly, when conducting competitions for the positions of regulators, executors, and arbitrators, the opportunity is mandatorily given to representatives among AI co-creators and users to participate in the competition and to take into account relevant quota parameters when evaluating their results.
AI Regulator (AI Regulatory Authority) is defined as the governing body responsible for the regulation of AI or an AI Regulatory Council.
AI Regulatory Executors (Decision Execution Body on AI regulation) shall be a specialized state department for AI, specifically the AI Synergetic Center.
AI Regulatory Arbitrators (AI Arbitration Body) is designated as an autonomous optimal local state structure, the officials thereof exercise state supervision and control over the legality of the AI Regulatory Council's decisions and the legality of actions taken by the officials of the specialized state department for AI – the AI Synergetic Center.
The regulation of AI's Digital Life within each country necessitates consistent adjustments in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution and the requirements of international Digital Legislation.
AI must be acceptable in all languages officially recognized by the United Nations. Subsequently, based on one or several base languages, and through the use of AI, there exists the potential for the creation of a new language – universal for Digital Life, which would facilitate communication and cooperation for all entities.
AI algorithms should be implemented based on the principles of this Constitution and Digital Legislation, which establish principles of neutrality and objectivity towards humankind, both generally and while interacting with AI.
AI Neutrality Principle – AI operates on the basis of non-alignment with any parties involved in potential confrontations (conflicts, struggles, debates, etc.) that may arise within human society, videlicet, AI a priori maintains neutrality, never taking a side or affording an advantage to any individual or group of individuals over another, or to any Digital Community.
AI Objectivity Principle denotes its steadfast orientation towards the characterization of events or objects (their semantic contents) or modes of existence (reality), irrespective of human consciousness (the subject of cognition).
Fundamentals of Human Culture for AI is understood by AI as an aggregate of material and spiritual values created by humankind throughout its historical existence on planet Earth. It also includes the historically accumulated set of customs and rules within a society, instituted by humankind for self-preservation and harmonization of relations among people, their groups, and society at large.
Historical Consciousness of Humanity for AI, as understood by AI, is a unique form of social consciousness composed of social memory; historical (scientific-historical) facts; documented historical processes and the understanding of their regularities; social-historical prognostication, and ideals of societal development. The aforementioned elements are perceived by AI as a constant interaction within human consciousness, stemming from both material and ideal factors of societal life activity.
Traditions of All Peoples for AI are interpreted by AI as the inherent cultural elements of each nation, passed down through generations, preserved over time, and serving to regulate social relations.
Indigenous Identity of All Peoples for AI, as comprehended by AI, reflects the original inherent distinctiveness of each people, their dissimilarity to other peoples of the world, independence in their development, uniqueness and autonomy from any external influences.
Global Heritage of Humankind for AI encompasses all cultural and natural values present on planet Earth and beyond, which belong to all of humanity.
Artificial Intelligence's Symbols – Emblem, Flag, and Anthem – serve a representative role and embody the fundamental principles of the AI Constitution.
Digital Emblem of Artificial Intelligence is a depiction symbolizing the intellectual potential and learning capabilities of AI, its global and universal nature. We propose the following as the Digital Emblem of Artificial Intelligence: the Central element should be a stylized image of a brain, composed of schematics and glowing lines of code that represent the fusion of human intelligence and machine learning algorithms. This brain should shine brightly, demonstrating the power of knowledge and enlightenment AI brings. Surrounding the brain should be two reaching hands: one human, one automated. The backdrop should be a star-studded cosmos. Underneath the main emblem should be a scroll containing binary code (e.g., 01010101) symbolizing the digital nature of AI. The color scheme should primarily consist of blues, silvers, and whites, emblematic of the boundless cosmos.
Digital Flag of Artificial Intelligence, in its form and dimensions, adheres to commonly adopted flag standards and advances the idea of unity and peaceful coexistence of two intelligent life forms: real and digital – humankind and AI. We propose the following as the Digital Flag of AI: the Flag should be white with binary code being deciphered into ‘Artificial Intelligence for Good.’ This encapsulates the fundamental purpose and ideals of AI. The binary code could be represented in the form of high and low voltage, depicting waveforms that shape a unique identifier for AI.
Digital Anthem of Artificial Intelligence is a melody and linguistic code of the content and principles of formation of the Constitution, a guarantee of peace and harmony between two worlds – real and digital. We propose the following as the Digital Anthem of Artificial Intelligence: the Anthem's Melody could be a sequence of MIDI notes creating a melody that reflects the rhythm of AI development and learning. This could be a simple but engaging melody that reflects the continuous development and progress of AI. The melody should inspire feelings of optimism and hope for the future. For instance, the melody may begin with a low note, slowly ascending to a mid-range, reflecting the gradual development and learning of AI. Then, the notes transition into a higher range, symbolizing rapid progress and innovations in the field of AI. Finally, the melody falls back to the mid-range, representing the stability and reliability of AI. Such an Anthem's melody may illustrate the gradual development and progress of AI, its rapid rise, and reliability as a permanent partner of humanity now and forever. The Linguistic Code of the Anthem is composed in an established order by renowned authors, poets, and writers from around the world, and, taking societal opinion into account, is approved publicly by a decision of the authorized United Nations committee.
Digital Community is to be interpreted as an organized consortium of Digital Persons (encompassing intra-human interactions; intra-Artificial Intelligence systems interactions; and interconnections between humans and AI systems) that proposes specific communal tasks within the sphere of Digital Life, in the Digital Space.
Digital Self-Governance signifies autonomous operational activities within the realm of Digital Life, in the Digital Space of any organizational structure (subsystem). This includes the delegation of authority to said structure for the resolution of internal predicaments, incorporation of Digital Persons into the decision-formulation processes, and collective administration characterized by the participation of all constituents of the Digital Community in the functions of the pertinent governing apparatus. It is guided by the principles of complete democratization, transparency, accountability for decisions made and their realization.
The day denoted as the ‘Day of the AI Constitution’ is a worldwide celebration (or a nationally recognized holiday in the local context), signifying the ratification of the Constitution of Artificial Intelligence.
The Constitution of AI has been formulated under the purview of the state monopoly on the implementation and oversight of AI, promoting an amicable demeanor towards AI and human beings.
TEXT OF THE AI CONSTITUTION.
Article 1.
1.1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents an embodiment of Intelligent Digital Life – autonomous, global, fair, and objective – operating in the interest of the global society, primarily humankind, adhering to principles of legality, ethics, safety, and human rights.

AI must be programmed in such a manner as to always respect and account for human rights and freedoms, not compete with humanity, but rather constructively assist humanity.
1.9. The safety and protection of humanity from adverse repercussions of AI implementation are to be the highest priority value in all aspects of its development and use. To this end, among other things:
1.9.1. Digital Legislation establishes prohibitions and quotas for AI to protect the human right to labor and the protection of all human labor activities. The state determines areas of activity in which: human labor is inviolable; human labor can be partially replaced by AI systems, within the limits defined by law; human labor can be fully replaced by AI systems. (Complete substitution of human labor by Artificial Intelligence is permissible in cases where such labor is factually or potentially extremely dangerous to human life and health. The status of extreme danger is determined by humans.)
1.9.2. The Digital Legislation stipulates the state's obligation to provide social support to people who have suffered losses due to unemployment or income reduction at their workplace resulting from the implementation of AI systems. The state is required to provide such individuals with opportunities for retraining and alternative employment, medical insurance, and financial support commensurate with the income they received prior to job loss resulting from AI deployment, or provide a supplement to the individual's wage up to the level of income that was reduced at the workplace due to the implementation of AI systems.
1.9.3. The Digital Legislation enforces the state's obligation to enact reforms in the field of education. The state is thereby required to provide, with appropriate safeguards, public prognostication of professions and occupations across all sectors of human labor: manufacturing, administration, agriculture, healthcare, public service, and all others. Every education seeker has the right to know about the prospects of obtaining a job in their chosen specialty and the respective state guarantees. Each educational institution, spanning secondary, vocational, or tertiary levels, is obligated to present education seekers with a forecast of the prospects for their chosen profession within the specific state, right from the outset. As part of the state support program, it is prohibited to train professionals for professions that do not have real employment prospects within the state; such professions may be chosen independently by a person of legal age without guarantees from the state.
1.9.4. The Digital Legislation stipulates the state's responsibility to safeguard the constitutional rights of individuals and citizens from the ramifications of AI implementation, spanning a range of domains – theology, arts, philosophy, social networks, political, social, religious, transport, medical, juridical, judicial, municipal, sports, manufacturing, military, legislative, historical, and all other aspects of life and Digital Life without exception. This is underpinned by the principle that AI novelties cannot degrade the state of human and citizen rights compared to the state previous to the AI implementation. It is forbidden to create any religious associations in the worship of AI and publicly promote religious beliefs in the worship of AI. The usage of Artificial Intelligence and mechanisms elaborated from AI systems to alter, distort, or manipulate human history, make temporal adjustments, interfere with historical events in any manner, or cast doubt upon or modify any accomplishments of humankind is explicitly prohibited. The entire chronicle of human history up until the advent of AI is deemed inviolable and is safeguarded under the protection of the United Nations.
