Human Rights and Artificial Intelligence: An Urgently Needed Agenda
ABSTRACT:The increasing presence of artificial intelligence creates enormous challenges for human rights. Among the short term challenges are ways in which technology engages just about all rights on the UDHR, as exemplified through use of effectively discriminatory algorithms. Medium term challenges include changes in the nature of work that could call into question many people's status as participants in society. In the long term humans may have to live with machines that are intellectually and possibly morally superior, even though this is highly speculative. Artificial intelligence also gives a new relevance to moral debates that used to strike many as arcane.
