Impact Of AI (Artificial Intelligence) On Fundamental Rights

ABSTRACT

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is transforming several aspects of modern society, from industry to healthcare, education, and governance. While AI has the potential to drive remarkable innovation and efficiency, it also raises critical questions about the protection and enhancement of fundamental rights. This research examines the intersection of AI technologies and fundamental rights, focusing on privacy, freedom of expression, equality, and the right to fair treatment. Through an analysis of policy developments, and legal frameworks, the study investigate both the opportunities AI offers for strengthening human rights and the risks it poses if left unchecked. Specific attention is given to the ethical concerns surrounding AI’s use in surveillance, data collection, automated decision-making, and bias amplification. This paper argues that to utilize AI’s benefits responsibly, regulatory and policy measures must prioritize the safeguarding of fundamental rights, advocating for a human-centric approach to AI development. The findings emphasise the need for collaborative governance involving tech developers, policymakers, and civil society to ensure that technological progress coincide with core human rights principles.
