IntroductionIt is increasingly acknowledged that the rapid deployment of AI across sectors potentially threatens human rights, exacerbates existing discrimination, and produces new forms of bias and exclusion. The intergovernmental agencies and public bodies of Member States are facing a significant rise in the private governance of AI, imposed by commercial technology providers. Developers, in this landscape, have defined and implemented normative systems in which their digital platforms operate. AI tools usually use algorithms to track users’ data, detect patterns of behaviour, and assess users’ practices without their full awareness or their explicit or genuinely informed consent. In addition to setting rules, these global corporations are increasingly acting as regulators and dispute-resolution arbiters when conflicts arise. In this way, ordinary people may be denied their human rights, and governments may be unable to represent their citizens. This rise of private governance undermines public Accountability for making AI a common good, and leads to a legislative void with respect to the regulation of AI and data across sectors. This state of anomie has further amplified the risks that AI poses to human rights, data privacy, and information security, and increases the potential for the widespread distribution of hate speech and disinformation. Thus, there is a pressing need for global governance as well as national policies covering AI in education.

Seguono le iniziative adottate e in corso.

Pur con queste premesse la AI e' ritenuta un common good, con tutte le conseguenze del caso.
