Summary

The present report is the first report prepared for the General Assembly by the Independent Expert on human rights and international solidarity, Cecilia M. Bailliet. It is submitted pursuant to Human Rights Council resolution 53/5. The Independent Expert addresses the current challenge of increased global inequality and explains how an artificial intelligence international solidarity design strategy can elucidate the duties of States, corporations and civil society to strengthen equal access to technology and the non-discriminatory inclusion of groups and individuals in vulnerable situations. In the report, the Independent Expert proposes that artificial intelligence governance should support State and corporate due diligence procedural mechanisms to involve direct and indirect stakeholders within data processing and decision-making in the life cycle of artificial intelligence.
