Artificial Intelligence (AI) is disrupting how we live, work, do business, and govern. In this webinar, we will discuss the potential human rights impacts of generative AI technologies, such as ChatGPT, and what this means for companies. This is a follow-up to an in-person event on the same topic taking place in London on June 22. This webinar is presented by the Human Rights Working Group and is open to all BSR members.
