Recommendations
•
All States should enforce mandatory heightened human rights due diligence for technology
companies operating in conflict zones like Myanmar. This must include specific requirements
for companies to publish annual assessments of how their algorithms impact minority groups
and political dissent.
•
Establish a dedicated funding mechanism to provide support for victims of human rights
violations caused by AI.
•
Call for the creation of an independent, UN-backed auditing body to conduct mandatory
algorithmic audits of major social media platforms in conflict settings and areas of gross and
systematic human rights violations. This body must have the authority to access black box
data to check systematic up and down-ranking.
•
Immediately impose targeted sanctions on the supply of dual-use AI surveillance technologies
(specifically facial recognition and predictive policing software) to the Myanmar military,
classifying these exports as complicity in human rights abuses.
