What will participants gain from attending this session? Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the ethical and human rights implications associated with generative AI technologies, including privacy concerns, misinformation, and potential societal impact. Attendees will explore and share strategies to promote transparency and accountability in generative AI systems. They will discuss approaches to mitigate risks such as deepfakes, data biases, and intellectual property concerns associated with generative AI technologies.

Description:

As generative AI technologies advance, it becomes increasingly important to address the ethical, legal, and social implications they present. This session aims to explore the necessity of an AI Rights Convention as a framework to ensure equal rights globally, with a specific focus on the future work of generative AI. We will discuss the challenges, principles, and potential solutions for establishing comprehensive rights that protect individuals, promote transparency and accountability, address potential biases and discrimination, and navigate the unique considerations posed by generative AI technologies.

Session Objectives:
