AI Ethics in focus at IPU Peace School
Globethics' Non-Resident Fellow for AI Ethics, Paola Gálvez Callirgos, participated in the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU)'s Science for Peace School on “Understanding Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its Impact on Parliamentary Work: AI, Human Consciousness and Ethics.”
Held in Allan, Jordan, from 5–9 May 2025, in collaboration with the King Hamad Global Center for Coexistence and Tolerance and SESAME (Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East), the training programme brought together parliamentarians, scientists and policy experts to explore the ethical implications of AI in governance, aiming to address the intersection of AI,
parliamentary functions and peaceful coexistence.
Gálvez delivered a session on the ethical foundations of AI governance, highlighting the importance of aligning technological innovation with human dignity, transparency, and democratic accountability. She shared practical insights on how policymakers can leverage AI responsibly to strengthen institutions and advance the public good. Her contribution emphasised the urgent need for ethical frameworks to guide the use of AI in parliamentary work and beyond.
The School introduced pioneering tools like AI assistants for legislative work and participatory dialogue, equipping participants with first-hand experience of integrating AI tools into parliamentary and governance practices. In doing so, it marks a significant step toward ethically-informed innovation in global governance.
