Roundtable on Human Rights and Generative AI, Paris

BSR Members Only

Date and Time

June 11, 2025

Location

Paris

The list of generative AI’s (genAI) capabilities is lengthening by the day. GenAI models are now used for natural language interaction, generating lifelike videos, assisting with code development, enabling live translation, and much more. However, these capabilities also pose significant risks to people and society, including reinforcing discrimination, creating non-consensual intimate imagery, job loss, and labor exploitation.

To help address these challenges, BSR conducted a human rights assessment of genAI’s impacts across the value chain, identifying key risks and offering recommendations on how to address them. BSR also developed a series of responsible AI practitioner guides designed to help teams integrate human rights into AI product development, deployment, and governance. 

Join us for an in-person roundtable discussion on the findings and guidance from this work. As part of the conversation, we’ll also hear directly from company representatives, who will share how they are approaching human rights due diligence for AI in practice—bringing real-world insight to the discussion.
