UNGPs lens to managing human rights risks from Generative AI
(Originally published on the UN website)
This panel discussion session convened by the UN B-Tech Project (“B-Tech”) at the UN Forum on Business and Human Rights will discuss how human rights risks associated with generative artificial intelligence (“generative AI”) can be addressed through application of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (“UNGPs”). Serving as the official launch for a series of B-Tech papers examining the human rights dimensions of generative AI, this session will explore (1) how the development, deployment, and use of these systems may pose risks to human rights; and (2) how company and State action to address these risks should be informed by the UNGPs. The session will feature panelists representing the UN human rights office, generative AI developers, civil society, and other stakeholders.
