The scope of Artificial Intelligence's (AI) hold on modern life is only just beginning to be fully understood. Academics, professionals, policymakers, and legislators are analysing the effects of AI in the legal realm, notably in human rights work. Artificial Intelligence technologies and modern human rights have lived parallel lives for the last sixty years, and they continue to evolve with one another as both fields take shape.

Human Rights and Artificial Intelligence explores the effects of AI on both the concept of human rights and on specific topics, including civil and political rights, privacy, non-discrimination, fair procedure, and asylum. Second- and third-generation human rights are also addressed. By mapping this relationship, the book clarifies the benefits and risks for human rights as new AI applications are designed and deployed.

Its granular perspective makes Human Rights and Artificial Intelligence a seminal text on the legal ramifications of machine learning. This expansive volume will be useful to academics and professionals navigating the complex relationship between AI and human rights.

"This book is a welcome attempt to consider some of the serious, even alarming, implications for human rights. It comprises more than 30 essays by a wide range of contributors, covering subjects such as civil and political rights, privacy, asylum, non-discrimination, and legal procedure. The scale of the endeavor is [vast] ... [T]his book is an important contribution to what can only be the beginning of a revolution." - James Wilson, The Law Society Gazette
