While AI has the potential to uncover abuses\, expand access to critical services\, support crisis response\, and identify harmful patterns at scale\, it can also amplify surveillance\, bias\, disinformation\, and exclusion.\n\nTo build AI systems that are both effective and responsible\, collaboration across disciplines is essential.\n\nWe invite you to join the AI & Human Rights Workshop on September 24\, 2026\, where researchers\, human rights practitioners\, and domain experts will explore how advances in AI can help address human rights challenges\, and how these challenges can inspire new directions for AI research.\n\nThe workshop will feature brief presentations followed by interactive table discussions designed to foster collaboration across disciplines. Participants are encouraged to bring their own research questions\, ideas\, challenges\, and perspectives to the conversation.\n\nPresenters and facilitators include:\n\nRada Mihalcea\, Janice M. Jenkins Collegiate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering\; Director\, Michigan AI Lab\n\nPeter Railton\, Emeritus Gregory S. Kavka Distinguished University Professor\; John Stephenson Perrin Professor\; Arthur F.
