| Summary: | This essay looks at the 2021 UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence as a foundational global normative instrument. In tracing the historical and legal roots of UNESCO as a standard-setting authority, the essay analyzes the Recommendation’s continued relevance to the global context today. By situating the Organization’s normative role within its post-WWII mandate, it argues that the Recommendation offers a valuable, albeit somewhat incomplete framework for ethical AI. It concludes by emphasizing the need for continued commitment from the international community in shaping global AI governance, as well as the inclusion of various ethical traditions, including faith-based voices. |
