Such assessments should identify the impacts on human rights and fundamental freedoms, in particular but not limited to the rights of people in vulnerable and precarious situations, labour rights, the environment and ecosystems and ethical and social implications, and facilitate citizen participation in line with the values and principles set forth in this Recommendation”. This instrument is primarily designed to help government officials (individuals and teams) involved in the procurement of AI systems.

Reporting on Artificial Intelligence: A Handbook for Journalism Educators Year of publication: 2023 Author: Maarit Jaakkola Corporate author: UNESCO The rise and control of artificial intelligence (AI) is impacting society as a whole. It follows that AI coverage must inform audiences about the implication of the technology itself, beyond journalism. For instance, reporting on the power dynamics in the changing relationship between companies, authorities, citizens and computer chips, and between data and algorithms. While many AI deployments serve public interest, journalists also need insight and expertise to alert about aspects like exclusions, unequal benefits, and violations of human rights. As part of its journalism education series, UNESCO’s International Programme for the Development of Communication (IPDC) has supported the World Journalism Education Council in commissioning this handbook. The aim is to inspire and empower so that journalism educators can help both journalism students and working journalists do justice to one of the major issues of our times. The handbook covers:• Understanding machine intelligence and identifying different types of AI• Exploring AI’s potential, as well as its strengths and weaknesses• Imagining diverse futures with AI by recognising pervasive popular narratives that inform public consciousness• Understanding journalism’s role in mediating and shaping AI discourse• Finding ways of reporting about AI in a nuanced, realistic and accountable manner• Making connections to existing genres of journalism, ranging from general news reporting to data journalism. Strengthening journalism education is one of the key results sought by IPDC, a unique intergovernmental programme within the UN system that specializes in media development.
