A Fair Future Starts Here!

We’re excited to bring you our successful, fun and free Human Rights Toolbox course, available two times in 2025 as a fully accompanied learning experience.

We aim to:

  • Equip you with a detailed understanding of a human-rights-based approach to AI development 
  • Provide a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms currently counteracting this approach
  • Introduce technical and non-technical solutions around the human rights impacts of AI systems 
  • Enable you to critically analyse and reflect on the objectives and outcomes of any new technology products
  • Promote collaboration between disciplines and actors

Why?

  • Creation of technology is strengthened by consultation, consensus, and diverse disciplinary perspectives, as well as the lived experiences of affected communities.
  • Impacted communities & experts from all parts of the technology and social science spectrums require a basic understanding and common vocabulary to participate in this important conversation.

 

When?

  • January 7, January 14, January 21, January 28
  • & Bonus February 4 for presentations
  • 14.00-16.30 UTC 
  • 1-2 hours reading per week/
 

Who?

Anyone with an interest in human rights and AI systems.

For technical participants: Code to Module 3 (and an additional Module 5) can be viewed in Jupyter Notebooks with a follow-along tutorial. Coding-office hours (in addition to the Hang Out Coffee Hours  to discuss questions once a week)  are also available.
