‘Social Media Algorithms and Democratic Political Culture’ by Professor Regina Rini

Project AIHR, an autonomous project exploring the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights under the ambit of the Jindal Society for International Law.

About Project AIHR 

The project on artificial intelligence and human rights aims to facilitate research, leadership, and student curiosity in the field and to emerge at the forefront for spearheading student involvement in regulation. The focus of the project will be to contribute and lead the ongoing debate on the emerging gaps in the legal framework. With the idea of initiating information dissemination through webinars, it will lead the student cohort into innovative, inventive discussions surrounding the legal, ethical, philosophical complexities that surround the ever-increasing intersection of artificial intelligence and society. The Project shall offer a host of experiences that shall contribute towards networking initiatives and increasing the knowledge available to the members. Further, it shall work towards capacity building in the varied specializations within artificial intelligence and human rights discourse and inspire students of JGU to contribute to the field collectively and effectively.
