This is AI x Multilateralism, a playlist of conversations at the UN Library & Archives Geneva where we’re joined by experts who help us unpack the many ideas and issues at the nexus of AI and international cooperation.

For this conversation we’re joined by Emily Tucker, Executive Director at the Center on Privacy & Technology and Adjunct Professor of Law, at Georgetown Law. There are many calls today to enact redlines for AI, but what about redlines for data? In this episode, we explore Emily’s work and research on what’s called datafication. She shares what this means, the impact of datafication on political participation and the public interest, and the implications for our collective capacity to create the futures we want as communities and societies. She also reflects on three priorities for data redlines, and what multilateral fora should be asking when it comes to how data is collected and used in today’s world.

Resources:

• Learn about the Center on Privacy & Technology at Georgetown Law
• Read Emily's article "To Have Democracy, We Must Contest Data" on TechPolicy.Press
• Consult Emily's recommendation: "Datafication", by Ulises A Mejias and Nick Couldry (open access article, UN Library & Archives Geneva)
• Explore the work of The Distributed AI Research Institute, Emily's recommended open access resource.

This is AI x Multilateralism, a playlist of conversations at the UN Library & Archives Geneva where we’re joined by experts who help us unpack the many ideas and issues at the nexus of AI and international cooperation. In this episode, we're joined by Wendell Wallach, a bioethicist who's been working on the ethics and governance of emerging technologies for decades. He’s the author of two books – A Dangerous Master, and Moral Machines – and until 2024, co-led the Carnegie Council’s AI and Equality Initiative. He’s also senior advisor to The Hastings Center, and a scholar at Yale University’s Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics, where for 11 years he chaired Technology and Ethics studies. For this episode, we’re sharing excerpts from a wide-ranging conversation where he shares his views on the ethics and governance of AI, the continued relevance of his books on robots and technologies many years after they were first published, what we can learn from bioethics, and the urgent need for oversight to align technology with human and environmental interests. Resources:

• Read "A Framework for the International Governance of AI" - Carnegie Council's AI & Equality Initiative.
• Read the new preface to "A Dangerous Master - How to Keep Technology from Slipping Beyond Our Control" by Wendell Wallach.
• Visit Wendell Wallach's website.
• Learn about the UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance and the Independent International Scientific Panel on AI.
