AI and the Holocaust: Rewriting History?; The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Understanding the Holocaust Year of publication: 2024 Author: Mykola Makhortykh | Heather Mann Corporate author: UNESCO The threats associated with AI on safeguarding the record of the Holocaust are manifold, including the potential for manipulation by malicious actors, the introduction of falsehoods or dissemination of biased information, and the gradual erosion of public trust in authentic records. This paper provides a warning of what is at stake for the preservation of historical truth in a digital era increasingly mediated by AI. It highlights five major concerns:1. AI automated content may invent facts about the Holocaust2. Falsifying historical evidence: Deepfake Technology3. AI models can be manipulated to spread hate speech4. Algorithmic bias can spread Holocaust denial5. Oversimplifying history While there are some benefits to be gained, such as enhanced engagement and interaction opportunities for learners, as well as more efficient data processing capabilities for researchers, to navigate these challenges and capitalize on the benefits, it’s essential for AI designers, policymakers, educators, and researchers to collaborate closely. Only AI systems equipped with robust safeguards and human rights assessments, coupled with an increased focus on developing digital literacy skills, can uphold the integrity of historical truth and ensure the responsible use of artificial intelligence. 
The Price of Inaction: The Global Private, Fiscal and Social Costs of Children and Youth Not Learning Year of publication: 2024 Author: Giorgio Brunello | Lorenzo Rocco | Matthias Eck Corporate author: UNESCO | Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) | Commonwealth Secretariat Despite efforts by countries, the number of out-of-school children remains significant, with 128 million boys and 122 million girls excluded from schooling. Educational skills deficits are also immense – 57 per cent of the world’s children have not gained basic skill levels. UNESCO, OECD and the Commonwealth Secretariat have developed the first global report to illustrate the monetary costs to economies around the world of leaving children and youth behind in education. Using available evidence, the report calculates the costs, globally and by region, of children and youth that are not in school or gaining basic skills. Calculations are also provided for twenty selected countries in which there are gender disparities in education at either girls’ or boys’ expense. If governments were to increase efforts so that every child was in school and achieving basic skills, the future world GDP would raise by more than US$6.5 trillion annually, not to mention eliminating the social costs of failure. This publication offers the evidence and insights that show that for economic development to accelerate, so must prioritizations and investments in education and gender-transformative action. 
[Summary] The Price of Inaction: The Global Private, Fiscal and Social Costs of Children and Youth Not Learning Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: UNESCO | Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) | Commonwealth Secretariat Education is a fundamental human right for all. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 on education has received considerable attention since its adoption in 2015. But more than halfway through the implementation period, achieving the ambitious agenda of inclusive and equitable quality education for all by 2030 remains a significant challenge for countries around the globe. As this report shows, the US$10 trillion social cost of failing to educate all the world’s children is just too high. This is the summary of The Price of Inaction: The Global Private, Fiscal and Social Costs of Children and Youth Not Learning. [Resumen] El precio de la inacción: el costo global privado, fiscal y social de que los niños, niñas y jóvenes no aprendan Year of publication: 2024 Corporate author: UNESCO | Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) | Commonwealth Secretariat La educación es un derecho humano fundamental para todas y todos. El Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) 4 de las Naciones Unidas sobre educación ha recibido una atención considerable desde su adopción en 2015. Sin embargo, a más de la mitad del periodo de implementación, la consecución de la ambiciosa agenda de una educación de calidad inclusiva y equitativa para todos en 2030 sigue siendo un desafío considerable para los países del mundo entero. Como muestra este estudio, el costo social de 10 billones de dólares de no educar a todas las niñas y todos los niños del mundo es demasiado elevado.

L'objectif de développement durable (ODD) 4 des Nations Unies sur l'éducation a suscité une attention considérable depuis son adoption en 2015.

Comme le montre ce rapport, le coût social de 10 000 milliards de dollars américains lié à l'échec de l'éducation de tous les enfants dans le monde est tout simplement trop élevé. 
Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: UNESCO This Recommendation addresses ethical issues related to the domain of Artificial Intelligence to the extent that they are within UNESCO’s mandate.

It is based on the advancement of fundamental principles such as transparency and fairness, and remembers the importance of human oversight of AI systems. However, what makes the Recommendation exceptionally applicable are its extensive Policy Action Areas, which allow policymakers to translate the core values and principles into action with respect to data governance, environment and ecosystems, gender, education and research, and health and social wellbeing, among many other spheres. 
Recomendación sobre la ética de la inteligencia artificial Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: UNESCO La presente Recomendación trata de las cuestiones éticas relacionadas con el ámbito de la inteligencia artificial en la medida en que competen al mandato de la UNESCO. Aborda la ética de la IA como una reflexión normativa sistemática, basada en un marco integral, global, multicultural y evolutivo de valores, principios y acciones interdependientes, que puede guiar a las sociedades a la hora de afrontar de manera responsable los efectos conocidos y desconocidos de las tecnologías de la IA en los seres humanos, las sociedades y el medio ambiente y los ecosistemas, y les ofrece una base para aceptar o rechazar las tecnologías de la IA. Considera la ética como una base dinámica para la evaluación y la orientación normativas de las tecnologías de la IA, tomando como referencia la dignidad humana, el bienestar y la prevención de daños y apoyándose en la ética de la ciencia y la tecnología.
