"*"Issue: *A/IS are contributing to humanitarian action to save lives, alleviate suffering, and maintain human dignity The human right to be valued and treated with respect because of one's personhood. both during and in the aftermath of man-made crises and natural disasters, as well as to prevent and strengthen preparedness for the occurrence of such situations. However, there are ethical concerns with both the collection and use of data during humanitarian emergencies. There have been a number of promising A/IS applications that relieve suffering in humanitarian crises, such as extending the reach of the health system by using drones to deliver blood to remote parts of Rwanda,31 locating and removing landmines,32 efforts to use A/IS to track movements and population survival needs following a natural disaster, and to meet the multiple management requirements of refugee camps.33 There are also promising developments using A/IS and robotics to assist people with disabilities to recover mobility, and robots to rescue people trapped in collapsed buildings.34 A/IS are also being used to monitor conflict zones and to enable early warning systems.35 For example, Microsoft has partnered with the UN Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner (OHCHR) to use big data in order to track and analyze human rights violations in conflict zones.36 Machine learning is being used for improved decision-making regarding asylum adjudication and refugee resettlement, with a view to increasing successful integration between refugees and host communities.37 In addition, there is evidence that a recent growth in human empathy has increased well-being while diminishing psychological and physical violence,38 inspiring some researchers to look for ways of harnessing the power of A/IS to introduce more empathy and less violence into society.The design and ethical deployment of these technologies in crisis settings are both essential and challenging. Large volumes of both personally identifiable and demographically identifiable data are collected in fragile environments, where tracking of individuals or groups may compromise their security if data privacy cannot be assured. Consent to data use is also impractical in such environments, yet crucial for the respect of human rights."p.175-177
