Artificial intelligence (AI) is being embraced for its potential to enhance efficiency and solve critical global issues. Peacebuilders and human rights defenders are increasingly looking to AI to support their initiatives aimed at vulnerable communities and conflict zones. However, the rapid deployment of AI technologies raises significant concerns regarding environmental degradation and social inequalities.
The environmental costs of AI, such as high energy consumption and resource competition, disproportionately affect communities in the Global South. Additionally, the extraction of materials for AI infrastructure often leads to human rights abuses and exploitation. To address these challenges, a sustainable development approach is essential, emphasizing equity, human rights, and environmental responsibility in AI's design and implementation.
