Kavka Distinguished University Professor; John Stephenson Perrin Professor; Arthur F. Thurnau Professor, UM LSA Philosophy)\n\nZhijing Jin (Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto, and a Research Scientist at the Max Planck Institute)\n \n Human rights are under pressure worldwide, and AI is increasingly part of both the problem and the solution. AI systems can help uncover abuses, expand access to services, support crisis response, and detect harmful patterns at scale. But they can also amplify surveillance, bias, disinformation, and exclusion. To develop solutions that are genuinely helpful and safe, we need collaboration among AI researchers, human rights practitioners, domain experts, and impacted communities.\n \n In this workshop, we\u2019ll explore the points of interaction between AI and human rights challenges, and discuss how existing obstacles in human right solutions can inform new research directions in artificial intelligence. U(M) researchers will briefly present on current topics in AI and in human rights, followed by table discussions with domain experts in both human right related issues and AI. You are encouraged to bring your own topics, problems, and innovations to share with the group.\n \n Discussion topics brought up in this workshop will be used as the basis for a whitepaper on the intersection of AI & Human Rights.\n \n Program\n 1:00-1:30 pm\n Introduction (goals and directions) and Keynote Talk\n \n 1:30-1:50 pm\n Human Rights Talk\n \n 1:50-1:55 pm\n Q & A\n \n 1:55-2:15 pm\n AI Talk\n \n 2:15-2:20 pm\n Q & A\n \n 2:20-2:25 pm\n TBA\n \n 2:25-2:40 pm\n Break\n \n 2:40-2:55 pm\n Introduction to the Roundtable discussion format\n \n 2:55-4:50 pm\n Roundtables with 1 lead and 1 note-taker (7 tables)\n \n 2:55-3:10 pm: (15 min) Brief introductions (\u201cI am X, from Dept Y, I\u2019m interested in the aspects of Z on Climate and\/or AI\u201d)\n 3:10-3:15 pm: (5 min) Individual thinking and notes on stickies for (i) Challenges that (could) intersect with AI\n 3:15-3:40 pm: (25 min) Group discussions\n 3:40-4:00 pm: (20 min) Report back\n 4:00-4:05 pm: (5 min) (ii) Potential Solutions, e.g., conversation and user interviews to set up the -solution, new task formulation for research, dataset building, and study design\n 4:05-4:30 pm: (25 min) Group discussions\n 4:30-4:50 pm: (20 min) Report back\n With this roundtable conversations, we aim to:\n \n (1) identify list of challenges and potential paths to solutions\n \n (2) facilitate new collaborations\n \n (3) work together on a white paper identifying a roadmap for this space (pending interest)\n \n 4:50-5:00 pm\n Wrap-up\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us at umichhumanrights@umich.edu.

In keeping with the tradition of the Wallenberg Lecture, Jozef will draw on her personal experience to share with the audience her understanding of how one person can make a difference.\n\nGuerline M. Jozef, a servant leader rooted in faith, is a globally recognized human rights advocate, thought leader, and strategist who has worked to transform the conversation on migration, race, and justice. Jozef is the executive director of the Haitian Bridge Alliance (HBA), a Haitian-American-women-led organization serving immigrants, with a particular focus on Black immigrants at the US-Mexico border and beyond. With the HBA, she has built a movement that centers people of African descent in migration while amplifying the voices of the most marginalized. She is the creator of \u201cTales from the Borderlands and Beyond,\u201d and co-founder of both the Black Immigrants Bail Fund (BIBF) and the Cameroon Advocacy Network.\n\nHer influence has been recognized nationally and internationally. She was named one of the Washingtonian\u2019s 500 Most Influential People of 2025, one of Politico\u2019s 40 Most Influential People on Race, Politics, and Policy of 2021, and one of the BBC\u2019s Top 100 Women of 2024. She was honored with the Afro-Caribbean Diaspora IMPACT Award from the Caribbean Philanthropic Alliance (CariPhil), the 2021 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award, the AFL-CIO\u2019s 2024 GMLK Human Rights Award, the 2024 Haitian Impact Awards, and the 2023 Midwin Charles Legacy Award from the 1804 Haitian Roundtable. She has been recognized by the Women\u2019s Refugee Commission (Voices of Courage Award, 2024), The Haitian Times (Newsmaker of the Year, 2022), the National Haitian-American Elected Officials Network, and the American Immigration Lawyers Association\u2019s Arthur C. Helton Human Rights Award among others.\n\nMs. Jozef has been featured in Forbes, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Time Magazine, The Miami Herald, The Haitian Times, Politico, and DemocracyNow. She has testified before the United Nations, the United States Congress, and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), and recently brought her advocacy to the international stage during the IV International Forum of Parlamentarians in Barranquilla, Colombia. Guerline went to the border for Haitians\u2014but she stayed for everyone seeking safety and protection. \n\n\u201cGuerline Jozef is a powerful advocate for the dignity and rights of migrants who has linked the experience of migration at the US-Mexico border to global human rights movements. She works tirelessly to give voice to the marginalized and to shape a more just future for all,\u201d said Sioban Harlow, chair of the Wallenberg Medal Executive Committee and Professor Emerita of Epidemiology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Global Public Health.\n\nFree and open to the public.
