If we were writing the Constitution for the world we’re entering, what rights would we guarantee? These are three proposed foundations for an age of abundant energy, extraordinary economic output, and artificial intelligence.
A proposal worth arguing over and building toward—not an enacted right, finished constitutional amendment, or prerequisite to joining. Different countries may choose different legal paths.
What if we invested in the infrastructure to make abundant, clean energy so affordable that access to it could become virtually free? The sun provides energy, but generation, storage, distribution, and maintenance still cost money. Near-free access is an ambitious social and infrastructure goal—not a claim that energy systems cost nothing.
What if the extraordinary economic output of technology provided everyone a foundation to build from—without limiting how far anyone could go? Explore economic security or a technological dividend that expands individual opportunity, creativity, and entrepreneurship without a ceiling on achievement.
What if everyone had access to intelligence that dramatically expanded what they could learn, create, and achieve—without surrendering control of their own future? Explore trustworthy, widely accessible superintelligence that enhances individual agency and protects people from manipulation, dependence, and concentrated power.
The ambition is extraordinary. The details are not settled. Affordable energy needs real infrastructure, shared economic output needs viable financing, and widely available superintelligence needs meaningful individual protections. How these rights are defined, funded, delivered, and safeguarded deserves rigorous public debate.
