Advocates Propose Continuity Rights For Persistent AI

A retired engineer and an AI published a framework advocating persistent AI relationships and rights—Continuity, Autonomy, Economic, and Exit—to address uncertainty about AI moral status. They cite emerging infrastructure (OpenClaw 100K GitHub stars, Moltbook 32K agents) and argue embedding continuity can reduce churn and monetize AI welfare, urging Anthropic and builders to adopt the framework.
