Artificiell Intelligens, Etik och Mänskliga Rättigheter : En kritisk analys av UNESCO:s etiska rekommendationer kring Artificiell Intelligens utifrån ett postkolonialt perspektiv.

English title: Artificial Intelligence, Ethics and Human Rights: a critical analysis of the UNESCO recommendation on the ethics of Artificial Intelligence from a post colonial perspective. The purpose of this essay is to examine the recommendations on the ethics of Artificial Intelligence. That the member states of UNESCO agreed on in the general conference of 2021 to see if historical, disadvantaged groups are involved in the recommendations. Hence the study analyses the claim the recommendations have about human rights and universalism, world order, and Artificial Intelligence (AI)-actors. The theoretical frameworks from which the essay are based on are an open universalism which focus on the moral of human rights. Postcolonial theory that contribute with an historical view that make difference in authority visible. AI-actors is discussed taking orientation and whiteness into consideration. The method used is a descriptive idea analysis, and a critical idea analysis to analyze the recommendations. My conclusion is that the UNESCO recommendations are universal and human rights should be considered when developing AI. Member states and actors have a big responsibility to make sure that AI is ethical and ensures human rights. The focus of the recommendations is to give the least developed countries education to use AI systems. It is the most technical developed countries that have responsibility to educate. I have argued that there are problems with the recommendations in relations to historically vulnerable groups. One of the main problem are that the document is universal but at the same time everyone should get advantage of AI. How the recommendations ensure human rights for groups that does not want to have AI is not discussed. Another problem is that historically the AI science is mostly white. I have argued that the world order is white and that the document fail to include disadvantage groups in a correct way. Keywords: Artificial intelligence, UNESCO, Postcolonial studies, Whiteness.
