- Duration: 4 weeks

We aim to:
- Equip you with a detailed understanding of a human-rights-based approach to AI development
- Provide a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms currently counteracting this approach
- Introduce technical and non-technical solutions around the human rights impacts of AI systems
- Enable you to critically analyse and reflect on the objectives and outcomes of any new technology products
- Promote collaboration between disciplines and actors
Why?
- Creation of technology is strengthened by consultation, consensus, and diverse disciplinary perspectives, as well as the lived experiences of affected communities.
- Impacted communities & experts from all parts of the technology and social science spectrums require a basic understanding and common vocabulary to participate in this important conversation.
