UN Human Rights Chief Calls for Freeze on Some Artificial Intelligence Systems
The United Nations human rights chief is warning the use of artificial intelligence technology presents a threat to human rights. The U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, called for a freeze on the use of artificial intelligence, or AI technology. That includes face-scanning systems that track people in public places. She said countries should ban AI computer programs that do not observe international human rights law. Applications that should be banned include government "social scoring" systems that judge people based on their behavior.
