Public Law Challenges in Protecting Human Digital Rights in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

The increasing use of artificial intelligence and its application in various fields have created both opportunities and challenges, which also exist in the application of artificial intelligence in public law contexts. The sum of these opportunities and challenges can be studied as digital human rights in the field of public law. In a way, these rights define the operational framework of artificial intelligence in this field. In this regard, the opportunities created by artificial intelligence should first be examined as part of human digital rights. Then, the challenges arising from artificial intelligence should be analyzed and identified as among the negative rights against which humanity must be protected. In this regard, challenges such as algorithmic transparency, accountability, privacy, and jurisdiction issues are raised, and the need to strike a balance between this new tool and security and privacy is emphasized. This research aims to explore the concept of human digital rights in the context of artificial intelligence in public law and to examine how they can be effectively protected. In order to answer this question, this article, relying on a descriptive analytical method, first provides recommendations for policymakers, experts, and researchers, and tries to overcome the challenges in this field, including cybersecurity, privacy, and decision-making, which are considered among the most challenging concepts in public law, by proposing macro-policies. Therefore, by developing up-to-date laws and regulations that align with digital advances, we can reap the benefits of artificial intelligence in enhancing public rights.
