Human Rights 2.0

Human Rights 2.0 is the framework proposed by Chris Meniw to update the 1948 Universal Declaration in the face of an era in which the subject of rights ceases to be exclusively the biological human. Three concurrent categories are proposed: biological humans, augmented humans (with significant cognitive or physical extensions), and autonomous artificial intelligence agents with sustained operational capacity. The document articulates the juridical-philosophical problem, a taxonomy of rights differentiated by category, the proposal of an updated Universal Declaration, and implications for national juridical systems and supranational bodies.
