Human Rights and Freedoms in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: International Guarantees of Confidentiality and Security

Abstract

This scientific study is devoted to the analysis of international guarantees of confidentiality and security in the field of human rights and freedoms in the age of artificial intelligence. It is established that the development of artificial intelligence technologies has created certain difficulties in understanding traditional concepts of human rights, particularly in the context of privacy and security. As artificial intelligence develops, becomes more complex and gains widespread application, it can both protect and violate human rights and freedoms. It is noted that, despite the vast opportunities that artificial intelligence opens up for humanity, it is necessary to take into account the ethical and legal aspects of its use, in particular its impact on human rights and freedoms. The unlawful or erroneous use of confidential information in artificial intelligence systems can lead to negative consequences for individuals.

It is stated that artificial intelligence should be considered as an organised set of information technologies that allow complex tasks to be performed using scientific methods and information processing algorithms. The information processed by artificial intelligence can be obtained both externally and during the operation of the system. In addition, information technologies allow the creation and use of: 1) proprietary knowledge bases; 2) decision-making models; 3) information processing algorithms; 4) methods for achieving set tasks. The impact of artificial intelligence on the violation of the right to privacy is profound and multifaceted. A huge amount of data is required for artificial intelligence technologies to function effectively. The hunger for information has led to an unprecedented level of collection, storage and analysis of personal information. While data processing for personalising services or improving decision-making offers significant benefits, it also poses significant risks to privacy. International treaties, case law and the activities of international organisations are analysed.

An attempt is made to identify gaps in the law, highlight new trends and propose specific measures to strengthen privacy safeguards in the context of the development of artificial intelligence technologies. The need for global cooperation in developing comprehensive and adaptive legal boundaries to protect human rights in the context of the rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies is emphasised.
