The right to human control: A legal response to artificial intelligence

Abstract

Artificial intelligence is one of the greatest technological developments of the 21st century and it has the ability to have a positive, but also negative, impact on human life. In this way, the use of artificial intelligence systems can result in the violation of fundamental rights such as equality, privacy, correct process and freedom of expression. In this scenario, the Law needs to respond to the new challenges that arise and offer avant-garde legal responses. One of them is the recognition of human control as a new right to guarantee oversight in the design and development of these systems in order to avoid affecting other existing rights.
