Paper 3: Implementing human rights due diligence
This is the third of three working papers intended to develop and test new business policies and practices aimed at establishing a sustainable social license to operate for new AI technologies that are capable of creating long-term sustainable value for all stakeholders... We propose five elements of human rights due diligence implementation... in the context of AI.
- Future testing human rights due diligence:... [W]e propose new human rights due diligence methodologies that can much more effectively address the uncertain impacts of the future, as well as the known impacts of today.
- Addressing impacts across the product and service value chain:... [T]he UNGPs offer a clear approach for differentiating the roles and responsibilities of diverse actors along the AI value chain, and emphasize the importance of “know your customer” approaches
- Rights-based approaches to opportunities:... [W]e propose the deployment of rights-based approaches to AI opportunities, alongside the more conventional identification of risks and adverse impacts.
- Human rights by design:... We believe there are opportunities to integrate a broader range of human rights considerations—such as nondiscrimination, freedom of expression, and labor rights—into existing [privacy by design] processes.
- Business leadership in collective action and public policy:... We propose that proactive private sector engagement in collective action and public policy development, including regulatory efforts, is a central part of companies operating responsibly
