Good @euatun.bsky.social led #HRC63 joint statement on declining human rights situation in #Ethiopia.

As #HRC63 opens today, UN High Commissioner for #HumanRights Volker Türk put AI related challenges firmly on the agenda.
His call: We need “technology that serves humanity rather than the other way round.” AI governance must protect human agency, rights and democratic societies.

The relationship between tools like AI, our human nature, human agency, is a priority.

The need for AI governance is acknowledged: delay only benefits the tech companies, their owners and enablers.

Across the world, growing numbers can't afford secure housing, healthy diet. Let’s be honest about where growth goes.

At #HRC63, we’ll strive to advance these questions:

❓How can human rights help drive action on toxics & pollution, also in the context of the #PasticsTreaty?
