Protecting Human Rights in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

How do we protect human rights in the age of artificial intelligence? As a first step, Amnesty International and Access Now launched the Toronto Declaration in May to establish ethical guidelines for the tech sector and government states specifically around protecting equality and non-discrimination in machine learning systems. Danielle Cass, Director of Amnesty International’s Silicon Valley Initiative, will describe the process of involving the tech sector in the drafting and the push to get tech companies and governments to adopt the Declaration and embed it into their machine learning standards, practices and regulations.
