AI BriefingIllegal by Design: Exposing the Human Rights Cost of Generative AI
Key point
Amnesty International called for a ban on generative AI systems built on illegal web scraping, saying they violate human rights.
Details
Amnesty International announced that standalone generative AI systems built on illegal web scraping conflict with International Human Rights Law (IHRL) and related standards throughout the entire process of design, development, and deployment.
These systems rely on structures that abuse privacy rights during data collection and model training. This goes beyond a mere technical issue, incurring serious human rights costs that enable discrimination and threaten freedom of expression and thought.
Amnesty International concluded that illegal-scraping-based systems rely on mass privacy violations by design and are fundamentally incompatible with international human rights law. Accordingly, it is strongly calling for a ban on such systems.
The report requested that major AI companies including OpenAI, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon respond to its findings and concerns regarding human rights risks.
