Ce qu'il fait

Digital rights organisation defending users at risk. On AI, advocates binding, enforceable human-rights-based governance and works against rights-violating automated decision systems. Operates a 24/7 Digital Security Helpline for civil society, and convenes RightsCon, the largest global digital-rights summit.

Ce qu'ils demandent — dans leurs propres termes

AI must be governed by binding, enforceable rules rooted in international human rights law — transparent, accountable and in the public interest — with particular scrutiny of biometric surveillance and AI in warfare.

Ce qu'ils font

Global digital rights advocacy, research (including 'Bodily harms: how AI and biometrics curtail human rights'), UN and EU policy work, opposition to autonomous weapons, and the RightsCon conference. Runs a 24/7 Digital Security Helpline.

Évaluation franche

Among the most genuinely responsive organisations here, because it runs an actual operational helpline with staff obliged to answer. Scope is human rights and at-risk users; a frontier-alignment concern is out of scope.

Ce qu'un nouveau venu peut faire

If you are an activist, journalist or human rights defender facing a digital threat, open a case with the Digital Security Helpline; otherwise read and share its AI issue page.

Bon à savoir

Its position is rights-based governance, not bans on AI development. The helpline is for people at risk, not a general complaints line — do not clog it with policy questions.

Préoccupations couvertes

Human rights harms — surveillance, discrimination in ADM, censorship, and threats to activists, journalists and human rights defenders. Near-term and acute, with a strong Global Majority focus.

Canal gouvernemental

Strong — formal engagement at the UN Human Rights Council, EU institutions, and national regulators; a recognised civil-society interlocutor in multiple multilateral processes.
