Shaping the future of AI and Human Rights

The event will feature Yuval Shany, former Chair of the UN Human Rights Committee and Inaugural Accelerator Fellow at the Institute, who will make the case for a new bill to address critical gaps in existing international human rights law. The White Paper outlines seven foundational rights for the age of AI, including: the right to access AI, privacy protections, anti-bias and fairness, algorithmic transparency, freedom from manipulation, meaningful human decision-making and interaction, and accountability for the use of AI.

These ideas will be examined and discussed by a distinguished panel of experts:

Robert Spano, former President of the European Court of Human Rights
Kate Jones, CEO of the Digital Regulation Cooperation Forum
Caroline Green, Director of Research at the Institute for Ethics in AI and a leading voice on the ethics of care This timely discussion brings together law, policy, ethics, and technology to explore how human rights can be protected—and reimagined—in an AI-driven world. Essential for policymakers, legal professionals, technologists, researchers, and anyone interested in the responsible governance of AI.

The session will conclude with dedicated time for audience Q&A and discussion.
