Education – Transforming the world through the innovation of AI means undertaking to build a future for and with younger generations. Rights – The development of AI in the service of humankind and the planet must be reflected in regulations and principles that protect people – particularly the weak and the underprivileged – and natural environments.

Instead, it must be used to help people develop their abilities (empowerment/enablement) and to support the planet.
