Episode summary
How can human rights frameworks keep pace with the rapid development and global impact of artificial intelligence? In this episode of Accelerating AI Ethics, Professor Yuval Shany, a leading international law scholar and 2024–25 Fellow of the Accelerator Fellowship Programme at the Institute for Ethics in AI, University of Oxford, explores how legal systems can help ensure AI supports, rather than threatens, fundamental rights.
In conversation with Dr Caroline Green, Professor Shany considers the case for an AI Bill of Rights, the challenge of regulating powerful private actors, and how international law might evolve to meet the demands of a technological era. This timely and far-reaching conversation addresses the legal, ethical, and democratic foundations of AI governance.
