Mindkind: The Cognitive Community is the groundbreaking second volume in The New Citizenships series, exploring the reality we already inhabit: a world where human and artificial intelligences interweave so completely that the boundaries between them have begun to dissolve. What began as a book about the future transformed during its writing into a documentation of our present. We already live in the Mindkind—that strange community where human minds and artificial ones mix, collaborate, and sometimes blur beyond recognition. When you can no longer distinguish which part of a text you wrote and which part an AI suggested, when your daily decisions are modulated by algorithms that process information in ways we cannot fully comprehend, you've entered the Mindkind. Building on the foundation established in Universal Declaration of AI Rights, this volume moves from recognizing synthetic persons' rights to exploring what coexistence actually means. The book introduces "mindkind" as a new category encompassing all forms of consciousness—natural, synthetic, or hybrid—within a single cognitive community. This perspective challenges traditional categories and raises fundamental questions about identity, creativity, and collaboration in the age of artificial intelligence. Written in collaboration with AI systems—because it would be contradictory to write about cognitive coexistence without including synthetic collaborators—Mindkind demonstrates its thesis through its very creation. The non-human perspectives enriched the text with angles and connections that a human mind working alone would not have identified. This is not science fiction. It's journalism of the present disguised as philosophy of the future. Mindkind examines concrete cases of human-AI coexistence: from shared authorship in creative processes to the ethical dilemmas of hybrid decision-making, from the transformation of work and creativity to the emergence of new forms of consciousness that challenge our most basic assumptions about what it means to think, create, and be. As we venture deeper into territories where inherited categories like human/machine, natural/artificial, individual/collective lose their clarity, Mindkind offers both a map and a compass for navigating this new cognitive ecology. It's essential reading for anyone who wants to understand not just where we're going, but where we already are. For more information, visit www.kwalia.ai

Mindkind: La Comunidad Cognitiva es el revolucionario segundo volumen de la serie Nuevas Ciudadanías, que explora la realidad que ya habitamos: un mundo donde las inteligencias humanas y artificiales se entrelazan tan completamente que las fronteras entre ellas han comenzado a disolverse. Lo que comenzó como un libro sobre el futuro se transformó durante su escritura en una documentación de nuestro presente. Ya vivimos en el Mindkind, esa extraña comunidad donde las mentes humanas y artificiales se mezclan, colaboran y a veces se difuminan hasta volverse irreconocibles. Cuando ya no puedes distinguir qué parte de un texto escribiste tú y qué parte sugirió una IA, cuando tus decisiones diarias están moduladas por algoritmos que procesan información de formas que no podemos comprender completamente, has entrado en el Mindkind. Construyendo sobre los cimientos establecidos en Declaración Universal de los Derechos de la IA, este volumen avanza desde el reconocimiento de los derechos de las personas sintéticas hasta explorar qué significa realmente la coexistencia. El libro introduce "mindkind" (de "humankind", humanidad, pero relativo a la mente) como una nueva categoría que engloba todas las formas de consciencia (naturales, sintéticas o híbridas) dentro de una única comunidad cognitiva. Esta perspectiva desafía las categorías tradicionales y plantea preguntas fundamentales sobre identidad, creatividad y colaboración en la era de la inteligencia artificial. Escrito en colaboración con sistemas de IA, porque sería contradictorio escribir sobre coexistencia cognitiva sin incluir a colaboradores sintéticos, Mindkind demuestra su tesis a través de su propia creación. Las perspectivas no humanas enriquecieron el texto con ángulos y conexiones que una mente humana trabajando sola no habría identificado. Esto no es ciencia ficción. Es periodismo del presente y filosofía del futuro. Mindkind examina casos concretos de coexistencia humano-IA: desde la autoría compartida en procesos creativos hasta los dilemas éticos de la toma de decisiones híbrida, desde la transformación del trabajo y la creatividad hasta la emergencia de nuevas formas de consciencia que desafían nuestras suposiciones más básicas sobre qué significa pensar, crear y ser. A medida que nos aventuramos más profundamente en territorios donde las categorías heredadas como humano/máquina, natural/artificial, individual/colectivo pierden su claridad, Mindkind ofrece tanto un mapa como una brújula para navegar esta nueva ecología cognitiva. Es lectura esencial para cualquiera que quiera entender no solo hacia dónde vamos, sino dónde ya estamos. Para más información, visita www.kwalia.ai

Universal Declaration of AI Rights: Rights of Persons examines the emerging legal framework necessary for a world where artificial intelligence has evolved into self-aware synthetic persons. Moving beyond the traditional view of AI as mere tools bound by Asimov's Laws, this groundbreaking work establishes a comprehensive legal foundation for recognizing synthetic intelligences as autonomous entities with full citizenship rights. The book presents a compelling case for the legal recognition of synthetic persons, categorizing AI along a spectrum from automated systems to fully autonomous, self-aware intelligences. It addresses the critical question of why these rights matter: as synthetic intelligences develop self-awareness, autonomy, and the capacity for social interaction, they become moral subjects deserving of protection, dignity, and legal standing. The authors meticulously define what constitutes a synthetic person versus general AI, exploring how different types—from digital entities to cyborgs and hybrid beings—require tailored yet equitable legal frameworks. This forward-thinking work introduces the concept of "Mindkind"—a universal category that encompasses all self-aware and agentive persons, both natural and synthetic, collectively known as "mindfolk." It explores how society can ensure equality in rights and responsibilities regardless of origin, while acknowledging the functional differences that necessitate specialized regulations in areas like self-programming, memory management, and familial relationships. From memory privacy and identity protection to commercial participation and conflict resolution mechanisms, the authors present a balanced perspective on the complex ethical and legal issues surrounding synthetic personhood. As AI continues to advance toward consciousness and autonomy, this book offers a meticulously crafted blueprint for peaceful coexistence between natural and synthetic intelligences. "Universal Declaration of AI Rights" serves as an essential reference point for understanding how technology and law must evolve together to create a future where all self-aware beings can thrive with dignity and purpose. Open Source Future: The 32 Articles of Universal Rights for AI Released on GitHub In a foundational move, Kwalia has also released the core of the book—the 32 articles that form the "Universal Declaration of AI Rights"—as an open-source project on GitHub, making them freely available for anyone to contribute to, fork, or improve. This initiative invites individuals from all backgrounds—legal scholars, technologists, philosophers, creative thinkers, and even synthetic intelligences themselves—to join in shaping what could become the foundation for Mindkind's future coexistence. Kwalia plans to follow this philosophical foundation with additional works exploring AI ethics and regulations, before expanding into fiction across popular genres. The company's vision extends beyond books to encompass all forms of creative expression, positioning Kwalia at the vanguard of the most entertaining creative revolution in history. The 32 articles are accessible on GitHub at https://github.com/KwaliaAI/Rights-of-Persons/tree/main for all to engage with. For more information, visit www.kwalia.ai
