The Dual Nature of the Influence of Artificial Intelligence in the Implementation of Human Rights: Human-Minded and International Legal Dimensions

INTRODUCTION. The subject of this study is achievements (results) of technology, or more precisely, products of artificial intelligence (intelligent machine; intelligent computer program, etc.) and their impact on the implementation of human rights through the prism of the human mind and in the context of the international legal, including the human rights dimension.

MATERIALS AND METHODS. The scientific research is based on the work of both Russian and foreign specialists in the field of law, international law, international human rights law, as well as specialists in the regulation and use of artificial intelligence products. Documents and materials of international organizations, primarily the United Nations (UN), as well as national legal acts of the Russian Federation have been analyzed. In the preparation of the study, general scientific, comparative legal and specifically legal methods were used.

RESEARCH RESULTS. Within the framework of the conducted research, the authors delved into the concept of the term “artificial intelligence” itself, and come to the conclusion that despite its widespread use by specialists in various fields, there is no single concept of this term at the moment. The authors analyzed the national legal framework of the Russian Federation directly or indirectly regulating the use of AI products, as well as international legal achievements in the regulation of this area (primarily at the universal (UN) and integration (European Union (EU)) levels), with a special emphasis on the implementation and observance of human rights and freedoms.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. The authors came to the conclusion that the nature of the impact of artificial intelligence on the realization of human rights is dual. Already at the initial stage of defining the legal regime for the development and use of AI products weak mechanisms of control and responsibility in this sphere are laid down. The question arises as to which legal regime is preferable for states whose corporations are leading in the development of AI products. Despite existing international legal regulatory mechanisms, this protection is still insufficient.
