umetna inteligenca (UI), podatkovni sistemi (PS), etika, človekove pravice, trajnost, odgovornost, podatkovni sistemi, temelječi na človekovih pravicah (PSČP), OZN, Mednarodna agencija za podatkovne sisteme (MAPS)

Povzetek

Leta 2024 je Generalna skupščina Združenih narodov sprejela resolucijo, katere cilj so »varni, zanesljivi in zaupanja vredni sistemi umetne inteligence« ter »Pakt za prihodnost«, ki vključuje »Globalni digitalni dogovor« in »Deklaracijo o prihodnjih generacijah«. Zdaj je nujno, da se resolucija Generalne skupščine Združenih narodov in »Pakt za prihodnost« izvajata in nadgradita. V prispevku predlagamo, da je treba v okviru ZN nujno ustanoviti Mednarodno agencijo za podatkovne sisteme (MAPS) kot globalno platformo za tehnično sodelovanje na področju podatkovnih sistemov (PS). Slednja naj krepi človekove pravice, varnost, zaščito, mednarodni pravni red, ki temelji na pravilih, trajnosti in miroljubni rabi sistemov na podlagi podatkov (PS) z večstranskim pristopom, pa tudi globalne nadzorne in spremljevalne institucije ter regulativne organe na področju podatkovnih sistemov (PS), odgovorne za dostop do tržne odobritve.
