AI and responsibility: a international human rights approach

Abstract

This article aims to reflect on artificial intelligence and civil liability from a human rights approach. It starts by introducing possible risks artificial intelligence (AI) presents to human rights. Next, it presents the challenges AI poses at the helm of responsibility. It further discusses the under-development AI regulatory initiatives, such as the European Union´s and its expected Brussels effect, and the Brazilian framework. It then critically reflects on regulatory initiatives. It concludes that human rights are a necessary global filter for AI regulation and claims for strict civil liability in the case of AI´s breaches of human rights.
