Global index for responsible artificial intelligence: advancing inclusive and rights-based approach

This project seeks to uphold human rights and democratic values in the use and development of artificial intelligence (AI) worldwide. It focuses on the “responsible use and development of AI” and addresses the relationship between AI technologies and the realization of human rights and development goals. Project activities include: (1) completion of expert survey by country-level researchers to generate primary data collection based on indicators and core competencies of responsible AI; (2) supporting additional research on AI (e.g. AI and human rights gender and AI) informed by challenges and key issues identified by the Global Index; and (3) organising regional forums throughout 2023 to review the first edition and build toward the second edition.

The expected outcome of this project include: (1) incentivized states to better protect human rights promote substantive gender equality and improve their global standing in responsible AI; (2) increased engagement by a global network of responsible AI researchers and civil society groups to shape how AI is used in their societies; and (3) increased cooperation among international actors to uphold rights-based development and use of AI
