Advancing AI Governance through People-Centered Justice

As AI governance evolves from principles to implementation, a key question becomes; how can people protect their human rights when they are violated by the use of AI? This panel discussion explores emerging jurisprudence on agentic AI grounded in human rights law and highlights the importance of people-centered justice in AI governance. Ultimately, judges, lawyers, legal aid providers, community justice workers, ombuds offices, civil society, and the private sector have a role to play to translate existing rights into meaningful legal remedies. Participants will examine approaches to liability, accountability and access to justice across the AI governance ecosystem.

Session Objectives:

1. Elevate access to justice as a core pillar of AI governance.
2. Identify the role of justice actors in shaping and implementing AI governance and upholding human rights.
3. Develop practical strategies for people-centered justice approach to AI governance.
4. Uncover shared challenges to governing agentic AI across contexts.
