As a result, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) established the Business Council for Ethics of AI to help mitigate the issue, particularly in the business world.
The Business Council for AI Ethics is a collaboration between UNESCO and Latin American enterprises active in the research or application of artificial intelligence (AI) in a variety of areas.

UNESCO works with AI companies to identify good practices that respect ethical standards. The Recommendation guides companies in identifying potential risks in their services and contributes to regional regulations that ensure a competitive environment for all.

Membership is open to business community members who embody the values and best practices of UNESCO’s Recommendation on the Ethics of AI. The Social and Human Sciences Sector of UNESCO serves as the secretariat, promoting and energizing the Council’s operations and activities.
The Council collaborates with UNESCO on activities including:
Members receive exclusive invitations to UNESCO activities, opportunities to engage in joint initiatives, and the chance to highlight AI skilling initiatives in UNESCO’s AI Skilling Database.
Membership is open to private sector entities willing to endorse UNESCO’s Recommendation, participate in Council activities, provide a voluntary contribution, and receive approval from the Business Council Co-Chairs and UNESCO.
