Artificial Intelligence, New Technologies and the Law: Why the Committee?

That artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic concern is evident. With the fast pace in developments of large learning models, machine and deep learning processes, the fact that computer systems are progressing towards significant cognition and human capabilities is a reality that is manifest across various sectors. With this rhetoric is a pertinent question: how should the law respond?

This is the question which this Committee examines from a plethora of perspectives relevant to law and specifically the governance of AI, new technologies and international law.

As the Chair, I welcome you and implore you to engage with the resources here. We hope that you will join in this conversation as we develop solutions to issues of artificial intelligence and new technologies.

The Exploitation of Image Rights in the Era of Deep-Fakes

The rise of deep-fakes, powered by Al, has intensified concerns over image rights, a critical aspect of an individual’s personal privacy (or right to privacy) and dignity. As deep-fake technology advances, individuals likenesses can be misused for malicious purposes, ranging from defamation and impersonation to more severe cases such as fraud or sexual harassment.
