Submission to the UK Parliament Joint Committee on Human Right Technical Paper 2025.6 Response to a Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights

The International Panel on the Information Environment (IPIE) proposes three primary regulatory interventions for AI in the UK: mandatory human rights impact assessments for high-risk systems, accountability frameworks for Generative AI in elections, and mandatory data access for independent AI auditing to resolve information asymmetries.

• The IPIE recommends mandatory human rights impact assessments for high-risk AI systems, especially those integrated into social networking platforms. These assessments should evaluate risks to privacy, dignity, democratic participation, and access to accurate information, and must include independent oversight and enforceable safeguards.
• Generative AI poses significant risks to electoral integrity; an IPIE analysis of 50 countries holding national elections in 2024 found that Generative AI was used to influence elections in 80% of cases. In these instances, 69% pursued objectives potentially harmful to democratic processes, and 46% could not be traced to specific actors.
• To counter electoral misuse, the IPIE suggests accountability frameworks including content labelling, detection systems for synthetic material, clear responsibility chains for developers and deployers, and international coordination to protect UK residents from foreign actors.
• Independent AI auditing is currently hindered by an information asymmetry where auditors rely on developer-curated documentation rather than direct system access. The IPIE recommends mandatory data access for independent auditors to evaluate risks across the entire AI lifecycle and supply chain.
• Expert research indicates high levels of concern regarding Generative AI's impact on the information environment: 63% of surveyed researchers are very or extremely concerned about its potential to amplify harassment, increase misinformation, and perpetuate biases, while 60% expect AI-generated videos to worsen the environment over the next five years.
