Any use of AI should aim to promote environmental, economic and social sustainability.

United Nations system organizations should ensure that AI systems do not overrule freedom and autonomy of human beings and should guarantee human oversight.

All stages of the AI system lifecycle should follow and incorporate humancentric design practices and leave meaningful opportunity for human decision making.

Individuals should be meaningfully informed when a decision which may or will impact their rights, fundamental freedoms, entitlements, services or benefits, is informed by or made based on AI algorithms and have access to the reasons for a decision and the logic involved.
