#AI holds great promise & risk. Yet while we regulate aviation, pharma & —even fast-food— AI remains controlled by private interests. We need AI governance that protects human life, rights & delivers #AI4Good. My remarks at the #Doha Int'l Conference on AI & Human Rights👇

Human rights are never a sunk cost—and always a strategic investment. They reduce inequalities, prevent costly crises, unlock people's potential, and protect our planet. This is the Human Rights Economy—smarter policy for stability and sustainable, inclusive growth.

Our survival is tied to our planet's—yet we cling to the delusion that nature exists to serve us. This mindset fuels crisis after crisis—from #climate chaos to conflicts rooted in domination & control. We need a new politics that works for humanity & our planet. University of Oxford

#Diversity is our greatest strength. Just as ecosystems thrive when a rich variety of organisms work together, our societies flourish when we embrace our differences & support one another. Amidst rising division, we must stand united for the dignity & rights of every person.

"Human rights provide stability & security in our troubled times. And they are guardrails on power, especially when it's unleashed in its most brutal forms. We need govt’s & societies to stand up for human rights, in word & deed." Volker Türk presents global update to UN Human Rights Council.
