Abstract

This document attempts to summarise some of the research conducted at the Allens Hub, which may assist the Commission in exploring issues relating to technology and human rights. We are aware that some of the research referred in our paper may relate to very specific topics, as they were not originally written for this paper. Nonetheless, we hope our research will aid the Commission in exploring issues relating to technology and human rights, particularly in the areas of social media regulations and AI-informed decision making. Overall, we are grateful for the opportunity to present our views and hope this paper will help the Commission in completing his final report.
