AI technologies pose significant threats to fundamental human rights, reinforcing historical biases and power imbalances. This week, we are joined by Susie Alegre, international human rights lawyer and author, to explore the impact of generative AI on gender and racial equality, labour markets, and information ecosystems.
Susie has worked for international NGOs like Amnesty International and organisations including the UN, the EU and the Council of Europe.
Susie has published two books covering the critical issue or technology's impact on human rights; “Freedom to Think” (2022) was a Financial Times Technology Book of the Year 2022 and shortlisted for the Royal Society of Literature Christopher Bland Prize 2023 and “Human Rights, Robot Wrongs: Being Human in the Age of AI” published in 2024.
The episode covers;
- How AI systems, like ChatGPT, perpetuate gender and racial biases
- The "Pygmalion" pattern in AI design
- Potential longterm effects on skills, education and social interactions
- The rise of "ultra-processed information" and its consequences for the internet
- Legal risks and the role of effective regulation
- Enforcement in addressing AI's human rights risks
- When AI applications may be valuable—and when they are not
