IGF 2024 Open Forum #62 Building Ethical AI: Policy Tool for Human Centric and Respo

    Theater
    Duration (minutes): 60
    Format description: The room layout should facilitate engagement and interaction. Either “theater” or “roundtable” format will allow for ease of flow of information and feedback amongst participants. The session should span 60 minutes which allows for time for the organizers to present their thought topic and for participants to ask questions and provide their insights.

    Description

    The DCO aims to provide a tool that will support the DCO Member States to embed ethics and address the human rights risks within the broader AI governance spectrum.

    This session proposes to go into a deep dive of how the DCO has developed the Responsible AI tool to ensure ‘ethics by design’ in AI development and adoption within the DCO Member States and beyond.
    We plan to discuss the key human rights risks that need to be addressed by all stakeholders within the AI building sphere, map relevance and severity of those risks to different AI use cases, and encourage open feedback and insight from key subject matter experts that we can incorporate into the final version of our Responsible AI governance framework and tool.


    This session has the potential to gather expert insights and feedback incorporating inclusive perspectives into our tool that we aim to use in holistic, cross-border ways.
