Building an ethical AI

In 2021, UNESCO introduced the 'Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence,' adopted by 193 countries. It emphasizes human rights, transparency, and fairness in AI. The guidelines help address AI's impact on data, the environment, gender equality, education, research, healthcare, and social well-being. This is part of UNESCO's efforts to promote technology and innovation in the service of humanity.

Organized by Slovenia under the patronage of UNESCO, the 2nd Global Forum on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence will take place in the Brdo Congress Centre of Kranj on 5 and 6 February 2024.
