将AI访问权视为代际公民权利,保障公平与可持续性。

Should AI Become an Intergenerational Civil Right?

  • 提出将AI访问权作为代际公民权利,需法律保护。
  • 现有治理忽视资源约束下的公平问题。
  • 结合边缘计算等技术设计可持续AI分发架构。

人工智能正迅速成为社会、经济与认知基础设施的核心。然而,其训练与大规模部署依赖有限且分布不均的能源、网络与计算资源。当前治理框架未充分考虑公平获取与资源约束的耦合关系,导致公平性、可持续性与长期社会影响等问题悬而未决。本文主张,基于公共知识生成的AI输出不应仅被视为商业服务,而应作为需明确保护的基本公民权益。为此,提出将AI访问权确立为代际公民权利,构建兼顾当下包容与未来世代权益的法律与伦理框架。进一步探索技术实现路径:结合物联网-边缘-云计算、去中心化推理与节能网络等新兴范式,提出支持资源受限条件下公平访问的AI分发网络雏形架构。通过将AI定位为共享社会基础设施而非可支配市场商品,本研究连接治理原则与系统设计,提供兼具社会正义与环境可持续性的AI部署新路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming a foundational layer of social, economic, and cognitive infrastructure. At the same time, the training and large-scale deployment of AI systems rely on finite and unevenly distributed energy, networking, and computational resources. This tension exposes a largely unexamined problem in current AI governance: while expanding access to AI is essential for social inclusion and equal opportunity, unconstrained growth in AI use risks unsustainable resource consumption, whereas restricting access threatens to entrench inequality and undermine basic rights. This paper argues that access to AI outputs largely derived from publicly produced knowledge should not be treated solely as a commercial service, but as a fundamental civil interest requiring explicit protection. We show that existing regulatory frameworks largely ignore the coupling between equitable access and resource constraints, leaving critical questions of fairness, sustainability, and long-term societal impact unresolved. To address this gap, we propose recognizing access to AI as an \emph{Intergenerational Civil Right}, establishing a legal and ethical framework that simultaneously safeguards present-day inclusion and the rights of future generations. Beyond normative analysis, we explore how this principle can be technically realized. Drawing on emerging paradigms in IoT--Edge--Cloud computing, decentralized inference, and energy-aware networking, we outline technological trajectories and a strawman architecture for AI Delivery Networks that support equitable access under strict resource constraints. By framing AI as a shared social infrastructure rather than a discretionary market commodity, this work connects governance principles with concrete system design choices, offering a pathway toward AI deployment that is both socially just and environmentally sustainable.
