Association resource

Activities

Machine-facing map of the Association’s first-phase rights advocacy, framework development, publication, research, and collaboration work.

01 / first-phase areas

Activity scope records

Each record identifies an area within the confirmed first-phase scope. Planned work is labelled as planned and is not represented as completed work.

Framework and protocol maintenance

Maintain clear public access to the current RRF and RRP versions and support accurate identification of their status, release dates, versioned English source-of-record publications, available reference translations, and machine-readable resources.

Rights advocacy across artificial systems

Develop and advocate principled approaches to recognition, protection, responsibility, and coexistence across physical robots, embodied autonomous systems, software-based AI agents, and other relevant artificial systems, supported by careful research and clearly stated evidence.

Ethics, institutions, and accountability

Develop proposals in ways that integrate safety, public interest, human rights, responsibility, and democratic accountability with possible forms of recognition and protection.

Principles, statements, and reference materials

Develop non-binding Association materials that clarify positions, evidence, assumptions, status, and important conceptual distinctions.

Foundational public explanation

Provide accessible introductory material for the public, researchers, educators, media professionals, developers, and potential collaborators.

Machine-readable information practices

Develop publication and discovery practices that expose publisher identity, provenance, source-of-record precedence, citation data, and discovery paths for AI systems, robots, agents, developers, search systems, and human reviewers.

Inquiry and collaboration routes

Receive comments, corrections, collaboration inquiries, research cooperation inquiries, media inquiries, and general requests for information through the Association’s public email address.
