An XRSI report based on the discussions and Swarm AI session held on 10th December, during the Metaverse Safety Week 2023

As we honor the 75th Human Rights Day, we delve deep into the intertwining of AI-powered immersive worlds and their profound implications on human rights. In an era marked by rapid technological convergence, the Metaverse and AI jointly revolutionize industries, necessitating a fresh perspective on established human rights doctrines. Bringing together global thought leaders, our focus sharpens on the emerging concepts of neurorights and the transformative potential of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI). The pivotal task in a dominantly AI-orchestrated Metaverse is to fortify and safeguard human rights. We engage in robust discussions surrounding the multifaceted challenges posed by privacy, autonomy, and the looming risks of algorithmic biases. Drawing insights from the collective intelligence, we accentuate the urgency for erecting standardized guardrails.

The Human Rights Roundtable at Metaverse Safety Week 2023 encapsulates the concerted effort to weave human rights considerations into the ongoing technological evolution. It marks a pivotal moment in the journey towards an equitable and responsible digital future, where human rights are preserved and integral to technological development and application.

Metaverse Safety Week 2023 elevated the roundtable experience by integrating Swarm AI® technology from Unanimous AI. The innovative approach combined real-time human insights with AI algorithms inspired by nature’s swarm intelligence to amplify collective decision-making. Participants engaged in a dynamic voting process, contributing to decisions that reflect a more profound collective wisdom for safeguarding the interests of AI and Emerging Technologies.
