In November 2021, 193 Member States of UNESCO adopted the Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence. This global standard aims to leverage the positive impact of AI while addressing its inherent risks.

UNESCO is seeking senior experts to oversee the implementation of the project in Paraguay including all research and analytical components, and to lead the preparation of a policy-oriented country report.

This report will build on the results derived from UNESCO's AI Readiness Assessment Methodology (RAM) and reflect the outcomes of the multi-stakeholder national consultations to be organized in the framework of this report.
