Most AI value is built on data people produce but do not own. Context stays locked inside platforms, and permission is often implicit rather than explicit. Incentives reward extraction over stewardship, so intelligence scales while individual agency and upside do not.
The next system treats data as an owned asset and access as permissioned by default. Context becomes portable, so users do not have to rebuild their lives inside every new app. Agency becomes a system property, not a settings page. Prosperity becomes an explicit alignment target.
Data remains controlled by the individual. Access is explicit, granular, and revocable.
Context can move with the user across applications, so products can personalize without trapping users or re-extracting from scratch.
Users maintain control over how intelligent systems act on their behalf, across applications and environments.
Evaluation and governance keep intelligent systems accountable, so capability growth increases human prosperity instead of dependency.
