Gordon Ritter: AI economy rules must protect human intelligence and work traces

Gordon Ritter argues that the rules governing the AI economy, particularly concerning ownership of human intelligence and work traces, are currently undefined and risk being dictated by powerful AI companies. He proposes a three-layered social contract: platform-level choice to prevent vendor lock-in, organizational sovereignty over learning loops and domain expertise, and individual appreciation for human judgment and learning. Ritter emphasizes that AI should be designed to cultivate, not just extract, human intelligence, citing studies where AI tools either hindered learning or enhanced it depending on their design. AI

IMPACT Sets the stage for future policy debates on AI ownership and the design of AI tools to foster human learning.
