The AI Ethics Lab at Rutgers University is pleased to announce the publication of the whitepaper “Promoting and Advancing Human Rights in Global AI Ecosystems,” which will be presented at a side event of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland, on March 20–21, 2025.
The paper advocates for an international, human rights-focused convention on artificial intelligence. This paper is the result of an independent collaboration among more than twenty researchers and experts worldwide in AI and human rights, committed to fostering a global dialogue beyond institutional and political affiliations.
Dr. Walker began contributing to this paper in July 2024, when he participated in the International AI and Human Rights Summit. Several of the leading contributors to this project are also editors and contributors to the AI Ethics Lab’s next publication, the AI & Human Rights Index.
