Abstract

While the dawn of Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions have aided in solving some of societal challenges, globalization and technological innovation potentially have the capability to disrupt, suspend, or change existing legal order, preventing the realization of business and human rights principles. For example, with AI-enabled systems, Africans can now access better healthcare, education, health, and transportation. However, AI has the potential to undermine human rights concerns. This article contextualizes the usage of AI systems and its implications for human rights violations. With particular reference to Africa, it gives an overarching context capable of constructing legal reactions to corporate related human rights violations. Some of the questions posed are: What are the ways human rights can be protected from exploitative tendencies of AI companies? How can African states, and businesses respond to regulatory challenges triggered by loss of work due to automation? What innovations and new methodologies are to be designed to engage with a sustainable and automated future? Finally, we propose reforms for corporate entities developing and deploying AI to respect human rights.
在非洲通过基于人权的方法规范人工智能
虽然人工智能(AI)解决方案的曙光有助于解决一些社会挑战,但全球化和技术创新可能会破坏、暂停或改变现有的法律秩序,阻碍商业和人权原则的实现。例如,有了支持人工智能的系统,非洲人现在可以获得更好的医疗保健、教育、卫生和交通。然而,人工智能有可能破坏人权问题。本文阐述了人工智能系统的使用及其对侵犯人权的影响。特别是关于非洲,它提供了一个能够对与公司有关的侵犯人权行为作出法律反应的总体背景。提出的一些问题是:如何保护人权免受人工智能公司的剥削倾向?非洲国家和企业如何应对自动化带来的工作岗位流失引发的监管挑战?为了实现可持续和自动化的未来,需要设计哪些创新和新方法?最后,我们提出了企业实体开发和部署人工智能以尊重人权的改革建议。

期刊介绍: The African Journal of Legal Studies (AJLS) is a peer-reviewed and interdisciplinary academic journal focusing on human rights and rule of law issues in Africa as analyzed by lawyers, economists, political scientists and others drawn from throughout the continent and the world. The journal, which was established by the Africa Law Institute and is now co-published in collaboration with Brill | Nijhoff, aims to serve as the leading forum for the thoughtful and scholarly engagement of a broad range of complex issues at the intersection of law, public policy and social change in Africa. AJLS places emphasis on presenting a diversity of perspectives on fundamental, long-term, systemic problems of human rights and governance, as well as emerging issues, and possible solutions to them. Towards this end, AJLS encourages critical reflections that are based on empirical observations and experience as well as theoretical and multi-disciplinary approaches.
