The bigger picture.
My work to protect and nurture human agency falls under three pillars.
Agency by Design
We must create design standards for second-generation behavioural technology to safeguard our capacity to choose in an AI-driven world.
Agency by Right
We must enshrine human autonomy and cognitive liberty in law and make agency a policy priority for global leaders.
Agency by Default
Shifting societal norms away from behavioural engineering and self-optimisation, towards agency and self-actualisation.
Agency Equity
Running across all three pillars is agency equity:
a commitment to agency as a universal right, and to achieving a fairer distribution to the many from the few.
