Your data. Your face. Your voice. Your conversations. They're yours. Let's keep it that way.
From hiring platforms to school apps to the tools processing your paycheck, AI is woven into the infrastructure of daily life. There is no comprehensive federal law protecting you. But there are specific strategies you can deploy today to protect what's yours.
Protection doesn't come from hoping corporations will do the right thing. It comes from informed citizens who know their rights, evaluate their exposure, and hold every entity accountable — together.

AI Citizens Kit · GIAHIf the deployment of AI compromises our fundamental right to agency, privacy, or the pursuit of a meaningful life, then the technology is a failure — not an advancement.
Every entity that touches our data is a business. Some will prioritize ethics because it's their North Star. Others will do it only when it's profitable. Many will ignore it until it's a liability. We can no longer outsource our ethics to a legal department or wait for a legislative cycle to protect us.
