Impact of Artificial Intelligence

A new project on the profound impact of AI on freedom of expression

What are the policies and practices in place concerning machine-learning technologies such as AI? How should we understand them when it comes to their profound impact on freedom of expression and internet freedom?

The project’s objective is to promote a clearer understanding of government, regulators, and internet intermediaries’ policies and practices in their use of machine-learning technologies and the impact these have on how citizens access and share information.

The Office of the Representative on Freedom of the Media will develop policy recommendations on the most effective ways to safeguard freedom of expression and media pluralism, when deploying advanced machine-learning technologies such as AI.

Special focus will be given to four areas of concern: security threats, hate speech, media pluralism and surveillance capitalism.
