At the Doha conference on artificial intelligence, an international call to ensure safety and justice

Tork stated that artificial intelligence tools can contribute to ending extreme hunger, building more sustainable development, expanding access to high -quality medical care, and supporting progress in scientific research. Activists can also use information about violations and amplify their voices.

On the other hand, Turk pointed out that digital developments, especially artificial intelligence, create new threats to rights and dignity. He gave examples:

Monitoring and violation of privacy: In some countries, artificial intelligence systems allow continuous monitoring of individuals or societies, which leads to violations of the right to privacy and suppression of freedoms.

Misinformation and wrong information: Artificial intelligence tools can define innocent as singers in fraud cases, recommend unsafe medical treatments, and publish incorrect “news”. Pictures and videos of “deep counterfeiting” of bullying, extortion, reputation and distortion of elections are used, which increases divisions in society.

Discrimination: Artificial intelligence systems contribute to the consolidation of discrimination patterns. The “predictive police” uses facial recognition techniques for racist and ethnicity, and prejudices in artificial intelligence data can affect decisive decisions in public services and employment.

Impact on employment

Volcker Turk explained that artificial intelligence affects the rights of millions of people in clear and hidden ways, as it leads to automation and replacement of jobs, especially those that women are often done, which may increase global digital gaps.

He pointed out that the main technology of artificial intelligence is controlled by a few countries and rich companies, while the developing economies lack the resources needed to invest in them, and a third of the world’s population in the global south is still lacking on the Internet.

Protection of human rights in the era of artificial intelligence

Despite the strict regulations imposed on sectors such as cars, medicines and aircraft, the development and deployment of artificial intelligence is still highly left for producing companies and customers. This, according to Turk, threatens everyone, stressing that protecting human life, dignity and rights must be a priority.

The Commissioner for Human Rights emphasized that fair artificial intelligence systems should be based strongly on human rights values ​​and world law, and that they serve everyone, including future generations.

He stated that the countries confirmed in Global Digital CharterWhich was adopted through Future Summit It was held last year, on the importance of the governance of artificial intelligence based on the international human rights framework.
