Artificial Intelligence and Human Right

Human rights and artificial intelligence are two important concepts that interact with each other in today's rapidly developing digital age. How will artificial intelligence technology affect human rights that are spreading throughout people's lives? This question has become an increasing focus of attention. Artificial intelligence is the field that enables computer systems to simulate human-like thinking and decision-making capabilities. However, some of the problems that arise from artificial intelligence may have a direct impact on human rights. The interaction between human rights and artificial intelligence is a complex problem. While artificial intelligence technology has the potential to harm people and human rights, it also has great potential to be used to protect and promote human rights. Therefore, artificial intelligence technology must be developed and used while observing human rights through an approach supported by an ethical and legal framework. In this paper, after reviewing human rights issues such as artificial intelligence and freedom of expression, artificial intelligence and freedom of privacy, artificial intelligence and bias, hate, discrimination, artificial intelligence and defamation, artificial intelligence and copyright, we will discuss the issue of legal response to artificial intelligence. Regarding the relationship between the state and science and technology, the Constitution stipulates that “the state shall endeavor to develop the national economy through innovation of science and technology and the development of information and manpower (Article 127), and the rights of authors, inventors, and scientists are protected by law (Article 22).” It declares that the state will actively plan and form for the promotion of science and technology and lead in a certain direction. In relation to these constitutional provisions, the establishment and implementation of science and technology policies can be seen as an important duty given to the Republic of Korea as a democratic welfare state. It can be said that the main legislative duty is to achieve a balance between the value of promoting the development and utilization of artificial intelligence systems and the appropriate response to the risks that artificial intelligence can pose. To achieve a balance between artificial intelligence and human rights, it is necessary to comply with ethical values, use transparent and responsible systems, update legal regulations, and adopt an approach that guarantees stakeholder participation. By doing so, we will be able to build a future where human rights are protected while taking advantage of the potential benefits of artificial intelligence.
