Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

With each technological revolution, mankind experiences a shift in the pace of history, leading to the emergence of a new age that fundamentally redefines human beliefs. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technological subject that is causing a profound shift in human society towards a state characterised by robots and machines. AI encompasses several technologies such as machine learning, natural language processing, big data analytics, algorithms, and other related fields. Nevertheless, as human intelligence is marked by inherent bias in decision-making, AI products that rely on human-generated intelligence also display similar characteristics. The existence of bias and discrimination poses a threat to universal human rights, since these phenomena are deeply embedded in social institutions and have many technological origins. Indeed, because of its facilitation of prejudice, AI disproportionately affects the human rights of marginalized individuals and communities, hence giving birth to a new type of oppression rooted in technology.
