Important Report published by Stanford University: National Artificial Intelligence Strategies and Human Rights: A Review
“Since 2017, over 25 states and regional intergovernmental organizations have published them (National Artificial Intelligence Strategies (NAS), with many more in the process of development.
The purpose of this report is to understand how human rights have (or have not) been incorporated into NASs up to this point, as well as to provide recommendations for how to incorporate them in the future.
The recent uptick in the number of NASs reflects the fact that governments in many states are beginning to think seriously about how they will harness the economic and social benefits offered by AI and remain competitive in the global market for this technology.
It is critical that as states develop their strategies, they also build an approach that ensures that this innovation does not come at the cost of human rights violations.”
The Swiss Government efforts to work towards a National Strategy have not been reviewed by this report: Swiss Government Report on AI Development in Switzerland: A positive step forward
