A/80/278 Report of the Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights, Alexandra Xanthaki Artificial intelligence and creativity Summary The present report is submitted to the General Assembly pursuant to Human Rights Council resolution 55/5. Following her previous report, on the digitalization of cultural heritage (A/HRC/58/60), the Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights, Alexandra Xanthaki, turns her attention to the ways in which artificial intelligence restricts creativity in all its dimensions. In the light of several United Nations reports on artificial intelligence, the Special Rapporteur is concerned that artificial intelligence continues to be hailed as transformational, side -stepping effective and urgently needed measures to guarantee that it is used in a manner that complies with human rights. The report sets out the elements of the cultural rights approach, which is necessary to ensure that artificial intelligence does not stifle human creativity. She emphasizes that States, in fulfilling their human rights obligations, must urgently set limits on corporations that use artificial intelligence for profit. 2/21 25-12403
