Human Rights at Sea (HRAS) acknowledges the rapidly expanding role, global investment and inevitable use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in professional environments, and has undertaken an initial review of its potential applications within our organisation.

On a case-by-case basis Human Rights at Sea (HRAS) will strictly utilise AI as an assisting tool to support but never replace human expertise, input or reviews.

All outputs generated or supported by AI will be subject to rigorous checks and internal reviews by qualified subject matter experts. Final sign-off on any professional work will always be conducted by a qualified and experienced human professional to ensure accuracy, integrity, and accountability.

We recognise both the opportunities and the risks associated with AI technologies. Accordingly, HRAS will continuously monitor developments in AI and adapt our practices with all due care and diligence.

Our commitment remains to uphold the highest standards of human rights’ advocacy, transparency, and ethical responsibility.

AI Data Privacy and Protection

Human Rights at Sea (HRAS) is committed to safeguarding the privacy and security of all data. In any use of responsible AI tools, we will ensure strict compliance with applicable data protection laws and ethical standards. No personal data will be processed by AI systems without clear legal basis, informed consent as required, and necessary safeguards in place. We will continue to assess and mitigate risks related to data privacy, including potential misuse or unintended exposure, and will maintain full transparency in our data handling practices.
