RESEARCH & PUBLICATIONS
Research Foundations
The Global AI Bill of Rights is grounded in applied policy engagement and academic research examining how rights, representation, accountability, and institutional design shape the governance of artificial intelligence systems.
This research focuses on a central question:
What conditions must exist for AI systems to uphold rights in practice, rather than in principle alone?
The work reflected here informs the rights articulated and the system requirements specified throughout the Global AI Bill of Rights. It represents an ongoing research agenda, not a finalized or universally adopted framework.

Relationship to This Framework
The research, writing, and public engagement listed here inform the rights and system requirements articulated in the Global AI Bill of Rights.
They should be read as part of a continuing effort to define, test, and refine how rights-based AI governance can be made operational through institutional and system design.
Questions of long-term financing and institutional durability are addressed separately through Sovereign AI Finance, which builds on—but remains distinct from—the work presented here.
Stewardship
The Global AI Bill of Rights is stewarded as a foundational research and design framework concerned with rights, accountability, and system requirements for high-impact AI systems.
The work is stewarded by Christopher Sanchez, whose research and policy engagement focus on rights-based AI governance, institutional accountability, and system design. Stewardship emphasizes continuity, critique, and collaboration to ensure the framework remains rigorous, adaptive, and responsive to evolving public-interest challenges in artificial intelligence.
