SUMMARY:Governing AI in higher education: applying human rights to the post-AI condition
DESCRIPTION:This event explores how human rights can meaningfully shape AI governance in higher education and research. It considers higher education broadly\, including teaching\, learning\, research\, knowledge dissemination and academic work\, and frames the discussion through the “post-AI condition”: an environment shaped by socio-technical\, legal\, political-economic and cultural dynamics in which AI is omnipresent\, policy and regulation struggle to keep pace with Big Tech and Big AI\, and human rights are challenged. The event adopts a human rights approach to AI governance as a fundamental layer through which AI affects universities\, students\, academics\, researchers and democratic knowledge systems. Contributions address academic labour and procurement governance\, public AI and the rights to science and education\, data privacy and citizens’ agency\, and the role of higher education institutions in shaping accountable AI.
