.Commissioner for Human Rights explains at @Pism_Poland #StrategicArk that human rights is a language to deliver respect to human dignity, and that the human dignity, hence the human rights, needs to be placed at the centre of the post-conflict reconstructions.

I met with an incredible group of experts to dive into the regulation of #AI emerging technologies. Learned a lot – the stakes are high and a #HumanRights-centred approach has never mattered more.
