Call for contributions: Human Rights Campaign Week
On 16-20 February techUK is running a Human Rights Campaign Week where we will turn the spotlight on the interaction between tech and human rights. Human rights has evolved from ‘traditional’ issues around supply chain transparency and data privacy to much wider ‘value chain’ concerns. With AI rolling out at a rapid pace too firms need to factor in new risks and issues in to how they approach human rights. This is also an increasingly regulated issue, with the UK setting up a new Office for Responsible Business Conduct to new European and global laws, so businesses in all industries need to start understanding present and potential human rights implications.
To this end we are looking for members to submit blogs, videos and content to discuss various aspects of this important issue as it becomes more important to business. To get involved please email [email protected] with any questions.
Each day will have a specific theme and these are below:
- Mon 16 Feb: What are the human rights issues in the sector?
- Tue 17 Feb: How do companies approach human rights as an ESG issue?
- Wed 18 Feb: How are tech firms using tech to improve human rights?
- Thur 19 Feb: AI and human rights.
- Fri 20 Feb: What next for human rights and tech?
