In the upcoming decades, multilateral development banks (MDBs) have committed to prioritise support for digitalisation (EBRD), artificial intelligence (EIB), the ICT sector (ADB), GovTech (World Bank) through investments in private and public projects. Therefore, it is critical to ensure that MDBs can prevent and address human rights harms connected with the development of digital technologies and their use by corporate, government and non-governmental actors, including individual users. I am researching the MDBs' public policies to identify potential gaps, risks and suggest required improvements where necessary.To do so, I have attended and contributed to multiple conferences including the United Nation's 'HRC mandated consultation on the application of the UNGPs to the Tech sector' and the ERBD conference on the ‘Digitalisation of Financial Institutions in the Western Balkans and Eastern Europe region’.
