Presentation

黑料正能量 recently published the first human rights assessment of the generative AI value chain. This assessment identifies and assesses actual and potential human rights impacts - including both the risks and opportunities associated with GenAI. It maps how different value chain actors — from suppliers, to foundation model developers, to downstream developers, deployers, and individual users — are connected to these impacts and recommends actions they can take to address risks and enable remedy.

This session will provide an overview of the assessment findings and breakdown the human rights responsibilities of different actors across the value chain. We encourage developers, deployers, and end users of genAI to attend,
