AI and Human Rights
During the 59th session of the Human Rights Council, the United Nations Working Group on Business and Human Rights emphasized the need for the procurement and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) to adhere to international human rights standards. This declaration highlights the increasing importance of ethical considerations in the development and application of AI technologies.
The UN’s statement reflects a growing concern about the implications of AI on society. Issues like privacy, discrimination, and bias must be addressed as AI continues to evolve. The goal is to ensure that AI benefits humanity while respecting fundamental rights. The Working Group urges governments and businesses to establish frameworks that guide the ethical use of AI.
