The Toronto Declaration

The Toronto Declaration, adopted in 2018, is a guidance document aimed at ensuring that artificial intelligence (AI) systems are developed and used in ways that respect human rights. It emphasizes the importance of preventing discrimination and promoting equity in AI applications. The declaration highlights the need for transparency, accountability, and public participation in AI decision-making processes, urging developers and policymakers to prioritize ethical considerations. By advocating for responsible AI practices, the Toronto Declaration seeks to mitigate risks associated with AI technologies and protect individuals from potential harms arising from biased or unfair AI systems.
