Generative AI needs a solid anchor in Human Rights. Businesses must manage risks and States should foster responsible conduct through laws, policies and standards. The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights provides a framework for good practices & rights-respecting regulation in the digital space. Learn more: https://ow.ly/vqgV50POGi5

With the growth of artificial intelligence, it's understandable to feel like we have no clear foundation for setting expectations of AI systems and their users. Fortunately, there's no need to start from scratch. Established human rights frameworks offer a solid starting point for considering the rights and interests at stake. It's great to see this guidance from the UN B-Tech project and we recommend you take a look. ⬇

European Liberal Forum and Liberal International invite you to join us for a webinar on 21 November 2023, 1pm UK / 2pm CET / 8am EST on Artificial Intelligence, Human Governance – Protecting Human Rights in the Age of AI. It will centre around the questions: If the proliferation of AI is inevitable, what standards do we all have to agree on to safeguard human rights? Is the UDHR sufficient to guide a human rights-centered approach to AI? What role do the UN and individual governments play in regulating and enforcing the protection of human rights in the lawless land of technological proliferation? How can human rights legislation safeguard human rights in a future where AI can fall into the hands of despotic regimes? Hear from Jan Kleijssen, Former Director of the Council of Europe among other eminent speakers. Registration link and more information at our website/ https://lnkd.in/dVRe2MqG

Unpacking the New Executive Order on AI - Part 3: Advancing Equity and Civil Rights   This is the third post in a multi-part posting where I am unpacking each section of the recent Executive Order regarding Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence, for those unfamiliar it or for those who appreciate a summarized version.   Key takeaways from Section Three - Advancing Equity and Civil Rights   1. Guidance for Fair AI Use Establish guidelines to prevent AI from promoting discrimination by landlords, federal benefits programs, and federal contractors.   2. Tackling Algorithmic Discrimination Foster best practices to curb civil right violations stemming from algorithmic biases.   3. Fairness in Criminal Justice Formulate guidelines to ensure fair AI applications within the criminal justice system.   Next, I will be unpacking section 4 - Standing Up for Consumers, Patients, and Students.   #ArtificialIntelligence #AIEthics #CivilRights #JusticeSystem #AlgorithmicFairness #TechPolicy #ExecutiveOrder #missionimpossible #GenAI #Datamangement
