We Are
Human Festival
Artificial Intelligence in service of human rights
An international festival and dialogue platform dedicated to human rights in the age of AI. A 30-year vision. One article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights explored through each edition. An initiative of We Are Human, a nonprofit public-interest organization.
Artificial intelligence is already transforming our imaginations, our cultures, and our societies. At this turning point, We Are Human mobilises artistic creation to question these technologies, reveal what is at stake, and explore their impact on human rights.
We Are Human is an international festival dedicated to films made in the age of artificial intelligence, committed to human rights.
Conceived as a space for dialogue and creation, the festival unfolds across multiple cities around the world, bringing together artists, filmmakers, researchers and citizens around a shared ambition: to explore how artificial intelligence can become a tool for creation, reflection, and the defence of humanist values.
We neither ignore the ecological cost of AI nor its biases. But we refuse to let these tools redefine the world without bringing a vision to them.
We Are Human practises a necessary subversion: transforming a technology of power into a vector of universalism.
Our ambition: to place artificial intelligence at the service of creation and human rights.
