The opioid epidemic has taken the lives of thousands of people across North America and Europe. Moreover, lack of housing, inflation, and a rapidly changing economy have affected millions of people, and many have become homeless. Many governments, researchers, health agencies, and not-for-profits have offered innovative ways to tackle this crisis, including many harm-reduction technologies that rely on Internet. In the age of the first artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, where reliance and accessibility to Internet have become a necessity for finding jobs, housing, affordable food, social services, social connection, and staying alive, the creation of free Wi-Fi zones around inner city neighborhood by towns and municipalities is not only a cost-effective way to reduce death, social costs, but a human rights issue during the initial stage of first A.I. revolution.
阿片类药物泛滥已经导致北美和欧洲数千人死亡。此外，住房短缺、通货膨胀和快速变化的经济影响了数百万人，许多人因此无家可归。许多政府、研究人员、卫生机构和非营利组织都提出了创新的方法来应对这场危机，包括许多依赖互联网的减少伤害技术。在人工智能（AI）革命的时代，互联网的依赖和可及性已经成为找工作、住房、负担得起的食物、社会服务、社交联系和生存的必要条件，因此城镇和市政府在市中心社区周围创建免费的 Wi-Fi 区不仅是一种降低死亡、社会成本的具有成本效益的方式，而且在第一次人工智能革命的初期也是一个人权问题。
