UNESCO: Ethics of AI

The ethical governance of artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as one of the most pressing global challenges of the 21st century. In recent years, the widespread adoption of AI systems across diverse sectors, including law enforcement, education, healthcare, finance, and military operations, has raised profound questions about the design and oversight of these technologies. At the heart of this challenge lies the necessity to ensure that AI systems respect fundamental human rights, promote fairness, protect privacy, and contribute to sustainable development.
