Amnesty International Warns of Human Rights Violations by Generative AI, Calls for Ban

·2026.06.24 15:55

Key point

Amnesty International claimed that major generative AI models violate international human rights law and urged government regulation.

Details

Amnesty International released a report titled 'Unlawful by Design: Exposing the Human Rights Costs of Generative AI', declaring that major generative AI products including GPT-3, Gemini, Llama, DeepSeek, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion are fundamentally incompatible with international human rights law.

The key points of the report are as follows:

  • Privacy Violations: Collecting training data through large-scale web scraping constitutes a mass privacy violation without the knowledge or consent of the individuals concerned.
  • Discrimination and Bias: Racial and gender biases embedded in training data perpetuate discrimination.
  • Freedom of Expression: AI moderation systems have been found to excessively censor non-English content.
  • Psychological Manipulation: Manipulating users' intentions and thought processes through predictive suggestions may constitute coercion rather than a mere design flaw.

Amnesty International requested comments from major companies including Google, OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon regarding this matter, but only 5 companies responded.
