Artificial intelligence (AI) has enormous potential for improving health outcomes and helping countries achieve universal health coverage. However, for AI to have a beneficial impact on people’s health, ethical considerations and human rights must be placed at the centre of its design, development, and use. Adapted from the core contents of the Guidance on Ethics & Governance of Artificial Intelligence for Health, this course introduces entry-level knowledge to policymakers, AI developers and designers, and health care providers who are involved in designing, developing, using and regulating AI systems for health.

AI, Justice, and the Rule of Law

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future challenge for justice systems. It is already being used in courtrooms, shaping evidence, decision-making, and access to justice. Yet many judicial professionals lack the guidance and tools to assess these systems in line with fundamental rights and the rule of law. To address this gap, UNESCO and the University of Oxford have launched AI, Justice and Rule of Law. This Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is designed to help justice professionals navigate the ethical, legal, and human rights challenges of AI.
