Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights, Democracy, and the Rule of Law

This book introduces a comprehensive model for evaluating the effects of artificial intelligence (AI) on human rights, democracy, and the rule of law and an innovative framework that merges Human Rights Impact Assessments (HRIAs) practices with AI-focused algorithmic impact assessment approaches. The book is divided into three subthemes: Understanding AI, Its Concepts and Implications; Challenges and Solutions in AI Systems; and AI Applications, Compliance Issues, and Future Prospects.

Features:

• Emphasizes the importance of integrating HRIAs with AI-centered approaches.
• Evaluates impacts of AI on human rights, democracy, and the rule of law to manage potential risks and impacts of AI.
• Underscores the necessity of a methodology that follows the proportionality principle.
• Highlights the importance of engaging with stakeholders throughout the impact assessment process.
• Provides real-world applications of computational intelligence in the HUDERAF context.

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in artificial intelligence, computer science, cybersecurity, and human rights studies.
