| Abstract | As artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly shapes the social, economic, and political landscapes, social workers must be equipped not only with digital literacy but also with AI-related human rights literacy. This conceptual paper based on an integrative literature review (ILR) (Snyder, 2019) explores the integration of AI ethics and human rights into social work education, with a focus on preparing future practitioners to engage critically with AI technologies that affect vulnerable populations. Current debates highlight how algorithmic systems can reinforce discrimination, undermine privacy, and compromise social justice principles (Eubanks, 2018; Noble, 2018). Yet, social work curricula rarely address these challenges directly, creating a gap in professional preparation. Drawing on critical digital pedagogy and decolonial approaches (Neden, 2023), the paper argues that human rights literacy in social work must evolve to include AI-specific competencies. These include understanding data justice, resisting digital profiling, and advocating for ethical AI governance aligned with social work values (IFSW, 2023). The presentation concludes by proposing guidelines for embedding AI and human rights into social work education, encouraging students to become critical digital citizens and ethical advocates. This is an urgent educational imperative in an age where AI systems increasingly mediate access to rights and services. |
