Artificial intelligence and human rights

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence is increasingly present in our lives, reflecting a growing tendency to turn for advice, or turn over decisions altogether. On the other hand, inviolability of human life is the central idea behind human rights. Artificial Intelligence generates some challenges for human rights. The European Union acts as a passive observer in the new debate that is of great importance. Between the formal regulations and ‘ethics guidelines’ in the field of Artificial Intelligence, the EU has to make a decision and position itself. Argument against regulation of emerging technologies is the stifling of innovation. On the other side of this argument is the need to provide a framework within which citizens can be protected from threats to privacy, autonomy, well-being and other aspects of human rights that may be affected as technologies like artificial intelligence are increasingly incorporated into everything. Nevertheless, the EU has to adopt a legal frame that can be developed in the future, bearing in mind the benefits of the AI.
