The Development of Artificial Intelligence Technologies and the Observance of Human Rights: Problems Ensuring Balance

The positive and negative impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies applied across various fields on fundamentalhuman rights have been studied. A critical analysis has been conducted on the mechanisms of manipulative actions towardsinternet resource users by their owners using AI technologies. The causes of errors in AI systems, which lead to violationsof human rights such as the right to life, liberty, personal security, and fair justice, among others, have been identified.The potential threat to privacy and human dignity posed by AI-enhanced surveillance systems has been revealed. Based on the analysis of the machine learning mechanisms of AI systems, it has been determined that the quality of AI«training» and the correctness of its decisions depend on the quality and completeness of the information analyzed andthe reliability of its sources. The examples provided show that the use of predictive models for crime recidivism risks andalgorithmically enhanced surveillance capabilities by law enforcement agencies leads to the reinforcement and furtherentrenchment of structural discrimination, systemic marginalization, and inequality. It has been proven that the use of AIsystems can lead to the formation of unfounded prejudices and discriminatory forecasts against individuals or groupsbased on characteristics such as gender, age, skin color, political or religious beliefs, health status, sexual orientation,place of residence, property status, physical disabilities, language, etc.To ensure the transparent and accountable use of AI systems, they must be created and utilized based on internationalstandards (data protection, algorithm transparency, accountability, intellectual property protection) and undergocertification and continuous monitoring (throughout their entire lifecycle) by independent expert bodies responsible foroversight in various fields (healthcare, education, road safety, law enforcement, etc.).Key words: artificial intelligence, machine learning, human rights, potential risk to human rights, discriminatorydecisions
