About this episode
Alexander Tsesis argues the Declaration’s natural-rights logic limits First Amendment protection to conscious human beings, not AI systems. Anne Twitty adds historical nuance and asks whether abolitionists’ strong commitment to the public’s “right to hear” could inadvertently support a listener-centered case for protecting AI outputs. Tsesis replies that listener rights matter, but the First Amendment’s core remains human, speaker-centered expression.
