Abstract
This paper examines the emerging issues that arise with the innovations in artificial intelligence (AI). AI has been given several meanings and definitions; however, with its habit of adapting to a growing society, these meanings become outdated as the day goes by. Artificial Intelligence has been considered to be the science of making machines think like humans. As time progresses, the merits of this AI have gradually affected several fields, including marketing, finance, healthcare, education, transportation, electronics, etc., and it cannot be denied that these influences are beneficial to several calibres of people, but then, the consequences that follow from the negative runs beyond the reach of its users. AI works by using algorithms and data to help machines perform such activities that would have required the use of human intelligence. This means that it promotes the chances of relaxation to people as it is accompanied by stress-free task-performing abilities. More so, with its ability to make decisions, human troubles become less as it can be consulted at any time for taking steps in any given task. However, some emerging issues come along with Artificial Intelligence, such as human rights concerns. These range from the question of the age factor of AI, the infringement on the human right to freedom of speech, and the right to equality, among others. Moreover, the functioning of Artificial Intelligence has encroached on the right to privacy of many individuals.
The author provides an overview of the functionality of artificial intelligence and its impact on human rights. Careful consideration has been given to draw the line between artificial intelligence and the internet. The importance of artificial intelligence has also been discussed in detail, along with the possible impacts that it can pose to the legal system and the environment in general. It is concluded that a balanced approach can be taken to explore the benefits of artificial intelligence and, at the same time, mitigate its adverse consequences through law, sensitisation, and setting standard eligibility criteria.
