Abstract: This thesis highlights how AI, despite its many advantages, poses significant risks of discrimination. This is demonstrated through both real-world examples and fictional scenarios designed to illustrate specific phenomena. By analyzing the Swedish Discrimination Law and the AI Act, it becomes evident that existing frameworks offer some level of protection, but risks of discrimination associated with AI usage persist. Addressing these risks requires both proper regulations and increased societal awareness. Balancing innovation and fairness is essential to enable the ethical and inclusive use of AI in society and to ensure that the technology is harnessed to maximize its positive impact on societal development. That being said, there is still much which suggests that responsible development and use of AI can provide significant benefits and perhaps even reduce discrimination.
