Call for Papers: Special Issue on “AI, Business, and Human Rights”
Call for Papers
Special Issue on “AI, Business, and Human Rights”
The Business and Human Rights Journal (BHRJ) is pleased to announce a call for papers (CFP) for a special issue about the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), business, and human rights. Unlike other dual-use technologies, AI is being promoted primarily by the private sector, giving businesses significant influence over the consequences of its implementation across different sectors. As AI technologies developed by private industry with little regulatory oversight become increasingly pervasive, it is crucial to advance our understanding of their possible negative or positive impacts on human rights and the role of concepts derived from the field of business and human rights, and how a human rights-based approach might address these consequences.
