Description: Due Diligence in Human Rights in the context of artificial intelligence (AI) ethics refers to the systematic process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating the risks that AI technologies may pose to human rights. This approach seeks to ensure that the development and implementation of AI systems not only comply with legal regulations but also respect and promote the fundamental rights of individuals. Due Diligence involves a proactive commitment from companies and organizations to understand how their technologies can affect different social groups, especially those that have historically been marginalized or vulnerable. This process includes conducting human rights impact assessments, consulting with stakeholders, and implementing corrective measures when risks are identified. The relevance of Due Diligence in Human Rights has increased in a world where AI is integrated into multiple aspects of daily life, from decision-making in various fields to surveillance and social control. By adopting a Due Diligence approach, organizations not only protect individuals but also foster public trust in emerging technologies, ensuring that their use is ethical and responsible.
