The Declaration of Private AI Generative Rights
Your private imagination should remain private.
Generative AI now participates in how people think, create, learn and explore. The Declaration establishes a simple boundary: private creation deserves privacy and freedom; accountability begins when content is published or used to harm others.
Free and voluntary. Adopt publicly or privately. No newsletter, payment or public email.
The core principles
What should people be able to expect from an AI system?
Private creation is not publication
A private prompt or generation should not be governed as though it had already been released to the public.
Your prompts deserve privacy
Prompts, blocked outputs and creative history should not become surveillance records or training data without meaningful consent.
Moderation requires due process
People deserve clear reasons, access to relevant records and a way to appeal automated moderation decisions.
Human creative direction matters
Using AI should not automatically erase a person’s authorship, agency or claim to a substantially directed work.
Why now
The rules for private thought are being written into products.
AI providers make consequential decisions about retention, censorship, profiling, ownership and appeals. Those decisions are often hidden inside product policies that individuals cannot negotiate.
DPAIGR gives creators, researchers and organizations a shared standard they can point to—and ask technology providers to uphold.

Private thought is not a loophole. It is a human boundary worth protecting.
Individuals can affirm the principles privately or publicly. Organizations may adopt them fully, partially or as a guiding standard.
