Observance of Human Rights When Using Artificial Intelligence in the Activities of a Legal Entity

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to highlight the issue of human rights observance in the context of use of Artificial Intelligence (hereinafter - AI) in the activities of a legal entity. It is substantiated that given the active introduction of AI into the processes of organizing the work of a legal entity, the issue of human rights observance in the activities of a legal entity is of particular relevance and requires in-depth interdisciplinary research (from the perspective of law, philosophy, technology, morality, etc.). It is established that the use of AI in the activities of a legal entity allows implementing the latest corporate governance practices, but, despite this, it creates a risk of violation of the most vulnerable human rights which may be violated due to the use of inefficient management methods in combination with the latest technologies. The author substantiates that the use of AI in the activities of a legal entity should be in compliance with human rights and privacy protection. When using machine learning algorithms for decision-making by a legal entity, it is necessary to ensure that the algorithm does not discriminate against people based on their race or social origin, gender, age or other characteristics. In general, the introduction of AI into the activities of a legal entity should be phased in and carried out taking into account the individual needs and capabilities of legal entities. To ensure effective implementation of AI in the activities of a legal entity, it is necessary to conduct research and testing of new technologies, and also to provide training for employees of legal entities in the use of AI technologies. Therefore, in order for AI to truly benefit society, it is necessary that the activities of AI comply with the fundamental rights of a person, the AI mechanism is legally recognised as an object of social relations, and autonomy control in the use of mechanisms is ensured. Introduction of AI into the business sector has significant potential to improve efficiency and reduce costs at various stages of legal entities' activities, but such technologies should be used in accordance with ethical and legal requirements, ensure the protection of human rights and confidentiality, and be tailored to individual needs and capabilities.
