As the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has stated, “Artificial Intelligence has the potential to either amplify human dignity or erode fundamental freedoms—it is up to us to decide its course.” Artificial intelligence (AI), with its pros and cons, has brought extraordinary changes in the field of governance, industries, and even in our day-to-day life. Extensive use of AI in sectors such as healthcare, finance, communication, and law enforcement calls for combating the urgent issues relating to human rights. The sudden rise in mass surveillance, undisclosed algorithmic workings, and data exploitation has made problems with privacy, transparency, and accountability much worse. Artificial intelligence has largely promoted discrimination in service delivery and police activity, heightening the dangers to both civil liberty and due process, mainly because of its reinforcement of systemic biases in datasets. Because AI is largely opaque and regulations are lacking, resolving harm is much harder. Although the General Data Protection Regulation and similar regulations may be helpful, it remains evident that they are unable to fully address the speed with which AI evolves. Even so, for the ethical deployment of AI to happen, strong global rules concentrated on guaranteeing privacy, transparency, and accountability are indispensable.
