Type: reference-entry
Abstract: Today, the manifestations of human rights in artificial intelligence and the aspects of its legitimacy represent a critical challenge centered on how to address related gaps, risks, and their influence on the principles of human rights. Key concerns in this domain include algorithmic transparency, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, injustice, bias and discrimination, privacy issues, data protection, liability for harm, and the absence of accountability, all of which have been examined using a library-based research method. This study focuses on the concept of "vulnerability" as a foundation for consolidating an understanding of the domain of artificial intelligence and fundamental human rights, which are frequently at the heart of concern. It employs this concept to explore the process of legitimizing the application of such technology. The findings indicate that, despite the progress made in the legal and regulatory governance of artificial intelligence and the acknowledgment that this domain requires continuous evaluation and agility in approach, the discussion advances the argument that, given the profound impacts of AI technologies—particularly on vulnerable individuals and groups and their human rights—it is crucial to evaluate their legitimacy through the lens of ethics before introducing them into spheres that affect individual rights.
