As a society, it's crucial to engage in conversations surrounding the implementation of an AI Bill of Rights to safeguard individuals from the impacts of artificial intelligence. What fundamental rights do you believe should be enshrined in this list? Let's foster a dialogue to shape a future where AI serves humanity ethically and responsibly. #AIBillofRights #ArtificialIntelligence #EthicalAI

AI's impact, both its opportunities and risks, has captured public interest globally, sparking geostrategic tensions. The uneven distribution of benefits and risks adds complexity to the discourse. In the humanitarian sector, numerous questions arise regarding the integration of AI: for instance, how can we assess its impact comprehensively, from aid delivery to human rights promotion? What strategies ensure equitable access to AI technologies, especially for marginalized populations? How do we prevent the concentration of AI benefits among certain entities? What governance structures are needed to ensure that AI-driven humanitarian interventions adhere to ethical standards, respect local contexts, and prioritize the needs and rights of affected communities? #AI #humanitarian #humanitarianaid https://lnkd.in/d6yhVhXW

How can AI contribute to reparations, truth-seeking, memorialisation and prevention WITHOUT marginalising victims and survivors? Our expert meeting with the AI Futures Lab at Delft University of Technology uncovered that: 💡 AI systems must be designed in a transparent and human-centred manner, especially in transitional justice contexts where trust is fragile and the social risks to victims and justice actors are high. 📝 Gain more insights into AI's potential in justice and accountability at our recap of the expert meeting: https://bit.ly/3AC5jRL #HumanRights #TransitionalJustice #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #victimparticipation #justice #truth #reparations #nonrecurrence #truthseeking #accountability

This video succinctly explains the problem of AI perpetuating racism. It is essential to tackle this and to ensure that AI tools are culturally appropriate. This is part of our motivation for developing a culturally appropriate AI chatbot for conservative communities Dr Mabrouka Abuhmida #AI #chatbots #conservativecommunities #mentalhealth

🤖 The first international legally binding instrument on AI, 🌐 Crafted by 46 CoE member States, the EU, and 11 non-member States including Argentina, Australia, Canada, and others, setting a global precedent. ♻️The COE AI Treaty sets out a legal framework that covers the entire lifecycle of AI systems and addresses AI risks, while promoting responsible innovation. The treaty covers the use of AI systems in the public sector – including companies acting on its behalf - and in the private sector. The convention offers parties two ways of complying when regulating the private sector: 1️⃣parties may opt to be directly obliged by the Treaty or 2️⃣take other measures to comply with the Treaty ⚠️The Treaty establishes transparency and oversight requirements, including identifying content generated by AI systems. 🚸Parties will have to adopt measures to identify, assess, prevent, and mitigate possible risks and assess the need for a moratorium, a ban or other appropriate measures concerning uses of AI systems where their risks may be incompatible with human rights standards. ⚖️They will also have to ensure accountability and responsibility for adverse impacts and that AI systems respect equality, including gender equality, the prohibition of discrimination, and privacy rights. 🚷Signatories to the treaty will have to ensure the availability of legal remedies for victims of human rights violations related to the use of AI systems and procedural safeguards, including notifying any persons interacting with AI systems that they are interacting with such systems. 🚫As regards the risks for democracy, the treaty requires parties to adopt measures to ensure that AI systems are not used to undermine democratic institutions and processes. ⬇️ See 5 key insights on the Council of Europe Framework Convention on #AI - a pivotal document shaping the future of human rights, democracy, and the rule of law in the era of artificial intelligence.
