Computational Intelligence in Human Rights Protection

Abstract

This chapter is valuable because it explores the critical intersection between human rights and computational intelligence (CI), particularly focusing on how artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can support the protection and promotion of human rights while also posing challenges. It discusses various fields, such as law enforcement, healthcare, and governance, where AI systems can improve human rights protections by enhancing data analysis, decision-making, and policy execution. Additionally, the chapter delves into ethical considerations and regulatory frameworks needed to ensure that AI technologies promote human dignity and do not undermine fundamental rights like privacy, fairness, and accountability. However, the chapter also delves into the risks associated with CI, including the perpetuation of biases through algorithmic decision-making, violations of privacy rights due to data misuse, and the potential for governments and corporations to engage in mass surveillance without accountability. These challenges pose serious threats to the principles of equality, fairness, and transparency—pillars of both human rights and democratic governance. It emphasizes the importance of addressing algorithmic bias, ensuring transparency and accountability in AI decision-making, and safeguarding individual privacy. Moreover, the chapter underscores the need for interdisciplinary approaches that involve legal, ethical, and technological perspectives to ensure that CI supports rather than undermines human rights.
