activists. Generative AI should not substitute for activists; rather, it
should serve as a tool that strengthens their capacities.
To achieve this, activists must possess the skills and competencies
necessary to use AI in a responsible and effective manner, and
organizations should support them in developing their expertise,
experience, and capabilities. Accordingly, this policy framework
proposes that, where necessary, organizations may place
limitations on the use of generative AI in the course of work—for
example, by restricting its use in document drafting in order to
support the capacity-building of early-career activists.
This is not only a matter of individual capacity. Within an
organization, it is essential to engage in discussion and deliberation
on specific issues and to maintain a shared understanding and
collective position. Generative AI must not be allowed to replace
these processes. In particular, when drafting organizational
statements or positions, the use of generative AI may weaken or
substitute for internal discussion and collective reflection. For
this reason, some organizations may choose to adopt policies that
prohibit the use of generative AI for such purposes.
Third, outputs generated by generative AI must not include any
form of bias or discrimination against marginalized or vulnerable
groups, nor negatively affect fundamental rights. The data used
to train generative AI systems often reflect existing social biases,
inequalities, and stereotypes, and AI-generated outputs may
reproduce these patterns.
The use of biased or discriminatory outputs can cause secondary
harm to marginalized and vulnerable groups, while simultaneously
