TERMS OF REFERENCES BACKGROUND
UNESCO has the mandate to promote the development of science and technology from ethical, human, and rights-based approaches. In November 2021, the 193 Member States of UNESCO signed the Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, the first global normative instrument in its domain. This Recommendation serves as a comprehensive and actionable framework for the ethical development and use of AI. The Recommendation represents a comprehensive ethical framework that encompasses the full spectrum of human rights architecture - from the principle of human dignity to the issue of inclusivity, fairness, equality, and non-discrimination. It does so by maintaining focus on all stages of the AI system lifecycle. Considering these challenges, the Recommendation details the actions required from Member States to ensure accountability, responsibility, transparency, and necessary regulations to ensure the rule of law.
With these values, principles, and policy areas in mind, the UNESCO Secretariat has elaborated a program for the implementation of the Recommendation, with the core aim of building national capacities to discharge the actions set out in the Recommendation. To implement the Recommendation, UNESCO developed two main tools for the purpose: the Readiness Assessment Methodology (RAM) and the Ethical Impact Assessment. On one hand, the RAM aims to help assess the resilience of existing laws, policies, and institutions to AI implementation in the country and the alignment of the AI systems with the recommendations' values and principles.
The RAM is a macro-level instrument that will help countries understand how prepared they are to implement AI ethically and responsibly for all their citizens by identifying institutional and regulatory change needs. Furthermore, the RAM will estimate the associated capacity-building level in different countries. Capacity in this regard means the ability to assess AI systems in line with the Recommendation to ensure that the country has in place human capacity, policies, and regulations to address the challenges brought by AI.
On the other hand, the Ethical Impact Assessment (EIA) aims to identify and assess AI systems' benefits, concerns, and risks, as well as appropriate risk prevention, mitigation, redressal, and monitoring measures. 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, labor 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. The instrument is primarily designed to help government officials involved in the procurement of AI systems. The goal of the methodology is to equip procurement officers with the set of questions to ensure that the AI systems they are purchasing are aligned with the ethical standards set out in the UNESCO Recommendation.
UNESCO is working with multiple partners in the implementation of the Recommendation through the development of those two instruments. In Latin America and the Caribbean, UNESCO is working on two dimensions: with governments (aligned with the Declaration of Santiago ) and with the private sector through UNESCO's Business Council on Artificial Intelligence and Ethics. As part of this effort, UNESCO is actively working with CAF - development bank of Latin America and The Caribbean through a technical cooperation.
In this sense, UNESCO is seeking an expert to provide political assistance to the implementation of the Recommendation on Ethics and AI in the region.
The expert will work under the supervision of the Regional Specialist of SHS in LAC and the director of the UNESCO Montevideo office, and in the framework of 41/C5 (Outcome 9 and output 9.SHS5), particularly in the areas of artificial intelligence, neurotechnologies and other frontier technologies, and international recommendations and frameworks in the field of ethics, and in collaboration with other team members at Headquarters and field offices.
