Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative technology with the potential to significantly impact various aspects of human society. In recent years, its applications have extended to the realm of human rights, offering novel opportunities for advancing and safeguarding fundamental liberties and dignity. This abstract provides an overview of the role of AI as a tool for advancing human rights, exploring its potential benefits, challenges, and ethical considerations. Advancements in AI technologies, such as machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision, have enabled the development of powerful tools for addressing human rights issues. AI-powered systems can analyze vast amounts of data, detect patterns, and generate valuable insights. In the context of human rights, this can facilitate the identification of patterns of discrimination, systemic biases, and violations, thereby contributing to early detection and prevention. AI algorithms can also enhance access to justice by improving legal research, supporting case management, and automating administrative tasks, ultimately reducing barriers to justice. Furthermore, AI systems can enhance the protection and promotion of human rights by enabling the monitoring and evaluation of human rights situations. Through real-time analysis of social media, news sources, and other data streams, AI can detect and respond to threats against human rights defenders, marginalized communities, and vulnerable individuals. It can assist in monitoring elections, ensuring transparency, and combating disinformation campaigns.
