Artificial intelligence and human rights: philosophical and ethical foundations of legal regulation

The article examines the philosophical and ethical foundations of legal regulation of artificial intelligence in the context of protecting fundamental human rights. The author analyzes the transformation of traditional ethical concepts in the conditions of rapid development of AI technologies and their integration into critically important spheres of social life. Special attention is paid to the problem of balancing the innovative potential of artificial intelligence with the need to protect human rights and freedoms. The concepts of “artificial will” as a mechanism for embedding ethical principles into AI algorithms are considered, as well as challenges related to the limitations of traditional means of state coercion in the context of the global nature of AI technologies. The necessity of creating international mechanisms of control and coordination in the field of ethical regulation of artificial intelligence is substantiated. The author proves that effective AI regulation should be based on a human-centered approach, where the motive is not the restriction of technological progress, but the protection of humans from potential negative consequences of using AI systems. The research contributes to the development of theoretical and legal foundations for ethical regulation of artificial intelligence and defines prospects for forming a new paradigm of legal regulation in the digital age.
