Input for Report on Disinformation Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) IFLA responded to a call for inputs about human rights impacts of measures against disinformation, issued by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression. Concerns over – and dialogue about ways to address – the negative impacts of false and misleading information online have remained high on the agenda over the past months, particularly in light of prominent examples of health and electoral dis- and mis-information.Disinformation, uniquely challenging in the increasingly dense and complex digital information environment, interferes with individuals’ ability to make informed decisions and realise their essential human rights. However, the new call for inputs by the UN Special Rapporteur also draws attention to the concerns about human rights impacts of measures which different stakeholders – from states to online platforms, human rights organisations and others – take to combat disinformation.These include, of course, the impacts of broadly- or vaguely-defined “fake news” laws on freedom of expression and opinion; or internet shutdowns that bear a heavy cost on people’s access to information as a driver of development and rights.In light of this, IFLA’s submission highlights the potential of media and information literacy interventions to help address the challenges of mis- and dis-information. Drawing on the global library field’s experiences, it points to some possible good practices and insights from the ongoing work and research in this field – from targeted and tailored outreach initiatives that can help reach those who are not currently in formal education, to scalability and replicability of interventions.Of course, this is an emerging field. Our understanding of how media and information literacy interventions can be effectively leveraged against disinformation, pitfalls to avoid and ways to maximise impact, continues to evolve. That’s why the submission emphasises the need for more research and cross-stakeholder collaboration – and libraries can and do offer valuable practical and theoretical insights for this ongoing discussion. 
Artificial Intelligence: Media and Information Literacy, Human Rights and Freedom of Expression Year of publication: 2020 Author: Igor Shnurenko | Tatiana Murovana | Ibrahim Kushchu Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Information Technologies in Education (IITE) | TheNextMinds The collection of papers “Artificial Intelligence: Media and Information Literacy, Human Rights and Freedom of Expression” continues the UNESCO IITE’s series of publications entitled “Digital Transformation of Education”.The publication describes the fundamentals of artificial intelligence and AI-based technologies, their impact on the modern information and media environment, new challenges in the field of media and information literacy associated with the growing automation of the processes of creating, disseminating and accessing information, the use of AI in decision-making and control systems in various areas. There is a strong focus on the growing risks of reducing individual agency, people’s ability to interpret reality autonomously and to act according to their own agenda.These issues are more relevant now than ever before for education undergoing digital transformation. The publication seeks to contribute to a critical understanding of the digital environment in which learning and teaching unfold, and strategies and tactics for the use of new technologies and the digitalization of educational interactions. 
Elections and Media in Digital Times (In Focus Series: Global Trends in Freedom of Expression and Media Development) Year of publication: 2019 Author: Tarlach McGonagle | Maciek Bednarski | Mariana Francese Coutinho | Arthur Zimin Corporate author: UNESCO Digital companies are enabling politicians, political parties and voters to communicate in unprecedented ways, and expanding opportunities for seeking, receiving and imparting political information and ideas. Alongside positive developments, there also growing concerns about emerging and increasing threats to the integrity and credibility of elections, as well as the media's contribution to free, fair, transparent and peaceful electoral processes.This report highlights three converging trends in media and elections in digital times: the rise of disinformation, intensifying attacks on journalists, and disruptions linked to the use of information and communication technology in electoral arrangements. Offering possible responses to the challenges at hand, this study is a tool for governments, election practitioners, media organizations, journalists, civil society, the private sector, academia and individuals. Выборы и СМИ в цифровую эпоху (Серия в фокусе: Мировые тенденции в области свободы выражения мнений и развития СМИ) Year of publication: 2019 Author: Tarlach McGonagle | Maciek Bednarski | Mariana Francese Coutinho | Arthur Zimin Corporate author: UNESCO ИТ компании дают возможность политикам, политическим партиям и избирателям общаться беспрецедентными способами, расширяют возможности для поиска, получения и распространения политической информации и идей. Наряду с позитивными сторонами растет озабоченность по поводу вырисовывающихся и усиливающихся угроз целостности и авторитету выборов, а также вкладу средств массовой информации в свободные, справедливые, транспарентные и мирные избирательные процессы.В настоящем докладе освещаются три сходящиеся тенденции, связанные со СМИ и выборами в цифровую эпоху: рост дезинформации, усиление нападений на журналистов и перебои в предоставлении информационно-коммуникационных технологий в период выборов. Это исследование, предлагая возможные ответы на стоящие перед нами проблемы, является своего рода инструментом для правительств, специалистов по проведению выборов, организаций средств массовой информации, журналистов, гражданского общества, частного сектора, научных кругов и отдельных лиц. 
Global Toolkit on AI and the Rule of Law for the Judiciary Year of publication: 2023 Author: Miriam Stankovich | Ivana Feldfeber | Yasmín Quiroga | Marianela Ciolfi Felice | Vukosi Marivate Corporate author: UNESCO What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)? How does it work? And more importantly, how does it find its way into the judicial context? Technologies such as AI have been around for decades, but only recently have they begun to be used in a variety of justice and law enforcement settings. While AI has immense potential for the justice system, helping judges make better decisions, improving efficiency, increasing access, and helping to detect and prevent crime, there are also some important issues that justice stakeholders should consider as they prepare for a future in which AI is increasingly used in justice systems.In 2022, UNESCO launched two needs assessments. First, through UNESCO’s Artificial Intelligence Needs Assessment Survey in Africa, 90% of the 32 countries surveyed requested capacity building support for the Judiciary on AI. At the same time, a second global survey of judicial actors in 100 countries underlined the need for better understanding the use of AI in the administration of justice and its wider legal implications on societies.The “Global Toolkit on AI and the Rule of Law” for the Judiciary responds to these needs and provides judicial actors (judges, prosecutors, state attorneys, public lawyers, law universities and judicial training institutions) with the knowledge and tools necessary to understand the benefits and risks of AI in their work. The toolkit will assist judicial actors in mitigating the potential human rights risks of AI by providing guidance on the relevant international human rights laws, principles, rules and emerging jurisprudence that underpin the ethical use of AI. Manuel de formation mondial: l'IA et l'état de droit pour le pouvoir judiciaire Year of publication: 2023 Author: Miriam Stankovich | Ivana Feldfeber | Yasmín Quiroga | Marianela Ciolfi Felice | Vukosi Marivate Corporate author: UNESCO Qu'est-ce que l'intelligence artificielle (IA) ? Comment ça marche ? Et plus important encore, comment trouve-t-elle sa place dans un contexte judiciaire ? Des technologies telles que l'IA existent depuis des décennies, mais elles n’ont commencé à être utilisées dans divers cadres judiciaires et exécutifs que très récemment. Bien que l'IA ait un immense potentiel pour le système judiciaire, pour aider les juges à prendre de meilleures décisions, améliorer leur efficacité, l'accessiblité, et pour aider à détecter et à prévenir la criminalité, elle soulève également des questions importantes parmi les acteurs judiciaires, alors qu'ils se préparent à un avenir où l'IA sera de plus en plus utilisée dans les systèmes judiciaires. En 2022, l'UNESCO a lancé deux évaluations des besoins. Tout d'abord, dans le cadre de l'enquête de l'UNESCO sur l'évaluation des besoins en matière d'intelligence artificielle en Afrique, 90 % des 32 pays interrogés ont demandé un soutien au renforcement des capacités du pouvoir judiciaire en matière d'IA. Dans le même temps, une deuxième enquête mondiale sur les acteurs judiciaires dans 100 pays a mis en avant la nécessité de mieux comprendre l'utilisation de l'IA dans l'administration de la justice et ses implications juridiques plus larges sur les sociétés. Cet ouvrage, « Manuel de formation mondial : l'IA et l'état de droit pour le pouvoir judiciaire », répond à ces besoins et fournit aux acteurs judiciaires (juges, procureurs, avocats, juristes, facultés de droit et établissements de formation judiciaire) les connaissances et les outils nécessaires pour comprendre les avantages et les risques de l'IA dans leur travail. Ce manuel de formation aidera les acteurs judiciaires à atténuer les risques potentiels de l'IA pour les droits humains en fournissant des conseils sur les lois, principes, règles et jurisprudences internationales pertinents en matière de droits humains qui sous-tendent l'utilisation éthique de l'IA.
