Exploring AI and Human Rights
The debate surrounding artificial intelligence and its eligibility for human rights protection has gained momentum. Experts argue that AI, despite its capabilities, falls short of meeting the criteria necessary for such protections. AI lacks emotions, self-awareness, and morality, which are fundamental aspects of being considered for human rights.
Moreover, the conversation extends beyond AI. In some discussions, non-human entities, such as rivers or animals, have been considered for rights. This raises the question of whether the same logic can apply to AI. However, the consensus remains that AI’s lack of consciousness and emotional understanding disqualifies it from human rights protections.
