Abstract

We welcome the Consultation as an ongoing commitment to advancing the responsible development and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in alignment with human rights principles. This initiative is vital in ensuring that businesses leverage AI in ways that respect, protect and fulfil human rights while addressing the risks and challenges these technologies pose to vulnerable populations, supply chains and global governance frameworks.

At the same time, we encourage the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights to consider the importance of aligning technological development with both intra-human and inter-species considerations. A holistic approach is essential to ensuring that technological progress benefits all forms of life, thereby supporting viable and sustainable development. Such an approach acknowledges that the impact of technology extends beyond human societies, influencing ecosystems, managed animals, wildlife and future generations of all species.
