The many ongoing conflicts in the world have had devastating consequences for civilians – and the rapid entry of AI has caused misinformation to spread like wildfire.
Amnesty International paints a dark picture of the state of human rights globally in its annual report.
In the report “The state of the world’s human rights”, Amnesty International reviewed the situation regarding human rights in 155 countries.
Certain events in 2023 are described in the report as particularly prominent when it comes to human suffering. It concerns, among other things, the conflict between Israel and Hamas, and the war in Ukraine.
Civilians have been killed, buildings have been destroyed and many have not had access to humanitarian aid, notes the human rights group, which also points to the fact that many countries have ignored the laws of war.
The rapid development of artificial intelligence is also highlighted in the report, which describes how AI and other technologies are used as a weapon and to spread disinformation.
