Foundation The London Story (TLS) is an Indian diaspora led non-profit organization based in Hague, Netherlands. Founded in 2020, TLS investigates the landscape of disinformation and hate speech to provide evidence-based policy and advocacy solutions. We analyze and document hate speech and hate crimes against Indian minorities, and advocate for justice, peace, and collective action against grave human rights violations.
TLS welcomes the opportunity to submit input to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism. This document provides comments and insights for the thematic report on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and racial discrimination to be presented at the 56th Session of the Human Rights Council.
India is a state party to the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (UNCERD). Therefore, TLS would like to bring reported trends on AI and discrimination in India to the attention of the UN Special Rapporteur. Following a brief overview of the current state of AI in India, the report addresses two specific questions outlined in the Call for Submissions.
