Business and Human Rights in the Age of AI
Practical Approaches to Human Rights Due Diligence for Business
Artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies are transforming the way companies operate. At the same time, they create new human rights risks and increase expectations for businesses to identify, assess, prevent, and mitigate potential adverse impacts through effective human rights due diligence.
