The Munich Convention on AI, Data and Human Rights is a proposed international treaty aimed at regulating artificial intelligence (AI) and data usage in alignment with international human rights law. Developed during the International AI and Human Rights Summit on July 16, 2024, in Munich, Germany, the convention was introduced for public consultation at a side event to the UN Human Rights Council.^[1] This initiative is a collaboration involving over 50 experts from diverse fields, including artificial intelligence, international law, human rights, and data science.

Background and Motivation

The rapid integration of AI into critical areas of society has heightened awareness of AI-specific risks, prompting various stakeholders to engage in discussions concerning AI and human rights. Key issues include algorithmic bias, surveillance implications, and the impact of AI on labor rights within international supply chains. Cultural references, such as films and series critiquing technology's role in contemporary society, have further fueled these conversations.^[2]

Specific Features of the Munich Convention

Unlike other frameworks, the Munich Convention adopts an ecosystem approach to address AI-induced harm. It considers factors such as the materials used in AI components and the rights of individuals affected by content moderation, emphasizing the mental health impacts. The convention also provides concrete proposals for areas requiring specific attention to mitigate AI-related risks such as AI in health or education.

Related Developments

In parallel, the Council of Europe adopted the first international legally binding treaty on AI, known as the Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence, Human Rights, Democracy, and the Rule of Law, in May 2024. This treaty establishes a legal framework covering the entire lifecycle of AI systems, addressing potential risks while promoting responsible innovation.
