The Premise
In a world where AI is reshaping every aspect of life, the true question is not whether artificial intelligence will change everything—but who it will serve.
We propose a bold idea: every human should have access to a personal AI assistant, one that empowers them to think, create, learn, and build a meaningful life. Not as a consumer product, but as a new human right.
This is Universal Basic AI (UBAI).
The Vision
UBAI is not about replacing humans—it is about augmenting them. We envision a future where everyone, regardless of income, education, or geography, can collaborate with an intelligent, aligned AI to:
Launch ideas
Learn skills
Organize life
Heal trauma
Find purpose
Earn income
This AI will be:
Private: owned and controlled by the user
Empowering: elevates agency, not addiction
Transparent: open-source, explainable, and customizable
Wise: built with values, not just capabilities
The Principles
Equity: Access to intelligence should not be limited to the wealthy.
Sovereignty: Users must own their data and direct their AI.
Empowerment: Agents should teach, guide, and co-create—not pacify.
Transparency: All systems must be understandable and auditable.
Decentralization: No single entity should control the future of minds.
What We're Building
We commit to building and supporting:
Green Gandalf AI: A wise, open-source agent designed to help people find clarity, confidence, and purpose in a post-labor world.
Agent Templates: Modular workflows for income generation, wellness, creativity, and learning
Community Training Hubs: Free resources to help anyone onboard and personalize their AI
An Open UBAI Framework: Tools and standards for anyone to build or host agents that respect these values
A Call to Action
We are at a crossroads. One path leads to a future where AI is a weapon of manipulation, owned by the few. The other leads to a renaissance of co-creation, dignity, and distributed intelligence.
We call on developers, dreamers, policymakers, and citizens:
Don’t just adopt AI. Reclaim it. Redirect it. Redeploy it. Build agents that serve humanity’s highest good, not corporate profit.
The intelligence revolution belongs to all of us.
Join the UBAI movement. Give every mind a mind of its own.
