Contestability Becomes a Digital Right

Provocation: contestability should become a digital right wherever AI shapes access, opportunity, speech, or reputation. The proposed right joins notice, evidence access, correction, and independent human review. Existing rules are narrower, but their focus on rights, autonomy, and risk creates the foundation for a more general claim.

Why this idea is here

What the evidence establishes.

The UN panel identifies human rights and autonomy as core domains; the EU timeline documents phased general-purpose, high-risk, and transparency obligations.
