Regulate AI

AI is everywhere, but its growth is racing ahead of controls required to protect our human rights. We must act now to regulate AI.

We must ban AI that risks human rights violations. These include uses that:  ONE
Allegedly ‘predict’ crime, assess a person’s ‘risk’ of criminal behaviour, and capture sensitive biometric data en masse using facial recognition technologies. TWO
Make decisions about people in situations of particular vulnerability or where fundamental rights are at stake – including decisions concerning asylum, immigration, welfare, policing and access to essential public services. THREE
Categorise biometric data infer highly sensitive characteristics; social scoring; or using AI algorthms to scan children’s faces online

We need to regulate other uses of AI including its use by government departments and how it is used by Big tech companies to determine the content we can see and share. We need: ONE
Transparency about how AI is being used – especially by the state. TWO
Accountability and the power to challenge automated decisions. THREE
Regulation of large platforms to give people control over content, and create transparency about why some content is recommended or suppressed.  FOUR
Effective appeals to AI moderation, and censorship online, independent researcher access and interoperability.
