accountability. Learning from past tragic lessons from countries like Myanmar, we must ensure that the development and deployment of AI technologies are guided by international standards and a firm commitment to protecting the safety, dignity, and fundamental rights of all individuals. Recommendations • Embed human rights in AI design: Require human-rights impact assessments with affected communities. AI must augment—not replace—human creators, and recommendation algorithms must prioritise reliable, context-appropriate content. • Mandate transparency and oversight: Oblige AI firms to publish model-training data sources and moderation rules by region. Creators must have the right to know and consent. Establish independent review bodies for AI harms. • Apply heightened due diligence in conflict zones: Remind States and companies that the UNGPs demand extra scrutiny. In Myanmar, pause or alter AI deployments that enable surveillance or repression. • Safeguard creators and cultural diversity: Insist on informed consent and fair pay when artists’ works train AI. Support UNESCO-backed legal and financial measures, and secure platforms for diaspora and underground artists. • Defend online expression: Call on all States to guarantee an open internet, condemn shutdowns and censorship, and insist platforms resist undue takedown demands under consistent global standards. • Strengthen international norms and enforcement: Urge the Human Rights Council to adopt binding standards—building on Res. 54/21—for mandatory AI impact assessments and victim remedies. Establish a UN crisis-monitoring mechanism and integrate rights-based AI controls into UPRs, treaty reviews, and similar processes.
