Human Rights in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. The Legal Regulation of Civil Law and the social dilemma of job losses in Europe (2020-2030)

Human rights, considered as a normative framework for safeguarding human dignity in its political, socioeconomic, and cultural aspects, need to be reconfigured in today's world in the face of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which is capable of handling complex processes and, at the same time, accelerating large scale decision-making, with significant risks of degrading personal autonomy if specific protections are not implemented within the framework of civil law. Given these concerns, the objective of the research is to critically discuss the general situation of human rights in the age of AI, with an emphasis on civil regulation in the face of the dilemma of job losses in Europe in the period 2020-2030, articulating concepts such as human dignity, risk governance, and civil law in the reflection. Using a methodology close to legal hermeneutics, Socratic maieutic, and documentary research techniques, we were able to conclude that, in the workplace, the pendulum swings between the illusion of a significant increase in productivity and the danger of worsening working conditions; however, the documentary evidence mentioned in this study suggests changes in functions rather than a crisis of substitutions.
