This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Create Human Rights to Intelligence to protect our skills, jobs & ecosystem.
Our human intelligence is at risk of being domesticated and colonised for commercial benefits with new technologies such as AI & robots, e.g. Driverless taxis.
Robots could take our jobs if we have no laws in place to protect people! Hence, we need new human rights to protect people's intelligence.
More details
Human Rights to Intelligence will protect an individual’s intellectual capabilities, such as job experiences, skills, and ecosystem.
The trends such as driverless cars, farmerless farms, and robotic surgeries will impact every profession as we know it—from our teachers, farmers, and doctors to our taxi drivers.
Intelligent systems need regulation and people-centric design thinking otherwise, the loss of our intelligence will become a global threat!

This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand you are concerned about the impact that automation will have on the economy but we are unsure what you mean by human right to intelligence. The skills needed to become proficient as a doctor or a driver are available to learn for everyone and the intellectual capabilities are not the exclusive property of the individual. Therefore we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition calling for the Government to review the full impacts of possible automation and explain clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
If you would like to know more about the future of automation the House of Commons, Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Select Committee have published a report entitled "Automation and the future of work" which you can view below:
