> Human Rights Foundation ... “AI for Individual Rights” program

That sounds quite dodgy. Ladybird doesn't have AI, why would such a program support its development?

But even before that: "Human Rights Foundation" sounds like "The Human League" which George makes up in Seinfeld as a fake charity. And promoting AI as a "human right" is quite suspicious. If I had to, I might be that this is something backed by one of the corporations burning through Billions of dollars and Gigawatt-hours on LLMs.

Looking at their annual report summaries and their huge staff, my guess slants a bit towards either bodies like the CIA or some ideologically-motivated billionaires (e.g. talk about the "dictator Maduro", focus on Iran etc.)

It was actually The Human Fund. The Human League is an English pop band, most successful in the 1980s with their hit single "Don't You Want Me".

Ha I immediately thought of the Human Fund from Seinfeld. Their fake slogan “money for humans”

There's quite a big difference between "AI for individual rights" and "AI as a human right".
