KI und Menschenrechte

Die Rolle von KI bei der Überprüfung der Menschenrechte

Policy Brief

• 

  Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how we gather and analyze information, offering powerful new tools to monitor human rights around the world. From scanning satellite images for evidence of atrocities to analyzing thousands of reports for emerging patterns, AI can help human rights defenders work more efficiently and effectively. Yet without proper safeguards, these same technologies pose risks that could undermine human rights protection efforts, particularly in monitoring contexts, through issues such as bias and discrimination, erosion of privacy, and lack of transparency.
  
  At this critical juncture, the European Union (EU) has a strategic opportunity to lead global efforts in harnessing AI for good. The EU’s strong human rights tradition, robust regulatory frameworks (such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the AI Act), and institutional strengths position it to set standards that ensure AI advances justice and human rights values.
  
  This policy brief outlines how AI can enhance human rights monitoring, the persisting challenges in applying AI in human rights monitoring and Europe’s opportunity to lead in AI for human rights monitoring. It concludes with actionable priorities for politicians and stakeholders to help secure a future where AI facilitates and strengthens, rather than threatens, the protection of human rights, with Europe at the forefront.
