The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on International Human Rights Legislation
The idea of this project is to determine the possible issues of AI’s impact on human rights legislation (especially on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948), review their significance concerning human rights violations, and provide some first answers on how to revise the legislation accordingly. My current view is that we already see several critical issues which prompt us to change our human rights legislation.
