Abstract

   Healthcare, education, security, and finance are just a few of the sectors that have benefited from the quick development and uptake of artificial intelligence (AI). But this technological revolution also brings up urgent human rights issues that need to be addressed right away. Data privacy, algorithmic discrimination, surveillance, freedom of expression, and labour market disruptions are some of the new concerns at the nexus of AI and human rights. Data privacy is one of the most critical challenges posed by AI technologies. AI systems often rely on large datasets, which may lead to unauthorized data collection, profiling, and breaches of personal information. Ensuring user consent and establishing stringent data protection measures is essential to safeguard privacy rights. Moreover, algorithmic discrimination, which occurs when AI systems produce biased outcomes, can exacerbate societal inequalities, particularly in areas such as hiring, healthcare, and criminal justice. Mitigating these biases requires transparency in algorithm design and the inclusion of diverse data sets. The freedom of assembly and the right to privacy are under risk due to the development of AI-powered surveillance technologies. Facial recognition and predictive analytics are being used by governments and businesses more frequently for monitoring, which could result in authoritarian tactics and unwarranted surveillance. To guarantee that AI applications uphold civil freedoms and advance democratic ideals, regulatory frameworks must be put in place. The freedom to knowledge and democratic discourse are further threatened by AI's role in creating deep fakes and misinformation, necessitating media literacy programs and ethical AI use. AI's effects on the labour market also pose serious human rights issues. Millions of workers could be displaced by routine task automation, worsening economic instability and social inequality. To safeguard the rights of impacted workers, governments and businesses must work together to provide social safety nets and reskilling initiatives. In this paperr, an attempt has been made by the author to analyse AI-driven healthcare and decision-making processes, ethical issues which are especially due to informed consent and patient autonomy being entirely dependent on accountability and openness.
