Pursuant to Human Rights Council Resolution 42/15 adopted on 26 September 2019 (A/HRC/RES/42/15), the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights is organising this expert seminar to discuss how artificial intelligence (AI) affects the enjoyment of the right to privacy and to articulate the safeguards necessary to promote and protect the right to privacy in the digital age.

The seminar will focus on the impacts of AI on the enjoyment of the right to privacy. It will give stakeholders an important opportunity to analyse the key role that privacy plays in safeguarding other human rights affected by AI. It will also seek to articulate safeguards and processes that States, businesses and international organisations are required to put in place to promote and protect the right to privacy in the digital age.
