Exploring AI’s Impact on Fundamental Rights

In this latest episode of the PrivacyRules PrivacyEspresso series, we are joined by Magdalena Gad-Nowak from Timelex, PrivacyRules member firm from Belgium, to delve into the profound implications of artificial intelligence (AI) on fundamental human rights. Key discussion points: Privacy challenges: AI systems rely on vast amounts of data, often collected without explicit consent. These systems can create detailed personal profiles, raising significant concerns about privacy and control over personal information. The discussion explores how AI’s data dependency intersects with privacy rights and what measures are necessary to protect these rights in the digital age. Non-discrimination risks: AI can unintentionally perpetuate and even exacerbate existing biases present in the data used to train these systems. This has been particularly evident in areas like mortgage applications, where AI systems have shown biased outcomes based on ethnicity. The episode highlights the importance of using diverse and representative datasets to prevent AI from reinforcing societal inequalities. Freedom of expression: While AI can enhance the spread of information and democratize access to it, there are significant risks, such as over-censorship by AI algorithms. These algorithms, used by social media platforms to filter harmful content, sometimes inadvertently suppress legitimate speech, creating echo chambers and limiting exposure to diverse perspectives. The discussion examines the delicate balance AI must strike between moderating content and preserving free expression. The episode also sheds light on the AI Act, the first comprehensive legal framework dedicated to regulating AI. The Act emphasizes the need for a balance between fostering innovation and ensuring safety, ethical standards, and respect for fundamental rights. This episode is essential for understanding how AI technologies can impact fundamental rights and the regulatory steps being taken to safeguard them.
