Aligning Artificial Intelligence Technologies with Human Rights Frameworks

Abstract

In the current era, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have become a cornerstone of societal advancement, permeating various aspects of human life with remarkable efficiency and capability. Given that the law aims to protect and regulate individuals’ lives across diverse fields, it must evolve to keep pace with the rapid changes brought about by AI technologies. This evolution is necessary to provide robust legal guarantees that address the challenges posed by the integration of these technologies into legal and social systems. This study seeks to meet the urgent need to harmonize the use of AI with respect for human rights and emphasizes the importance of establishing legal and regulatory frameworks that balance encouraging innovation with preserving human dignity. The core issue of the study lies in how the use of AI technologies can be aligned with adherence to the fundamental principles of human rights, while highlighting the key legal and ethical challenges that AI raises in the context of human rights. To achieve these outcomes, the study first sheds light on the conceptual framework of AI technologies and human rights by defining their nature and impact (in Chapter One), followed by a review of the mechanisms for protecting these rights at both the international and national legal levels (in Chapter Two).
