Artificial Intelligence, Industry 4.0 and Human Rights
Artificial Intelligence, Industry 4.0 and Human Rights

Summary/Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is a concept born 50 years ago but which has returned to the spotlight in the last 5 years, especially in the context of the COVID 19 pandemic. Just as electric cars were invented more than 50 years ago but only aroused interest when climate change became stringent, artificial intelligence begins to concern us with the start of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) that promises to reorganize production processes and commercial flows. How do we manage artificial intelligence? First, it is essential that we all understand the concept and how to use it, then to anticipate the consequences and take measures to mitigate adverse effects. It is a multidisciplinary team effort, and the challenge of our century is precisely to bring all stakeholders to the table, with equal rights. In the age of social networks where everyone wants to be seen and heard, the legal challenge of regulating the use of artificial intelligence arises. A regulation that ensures the continuity of the human race and respect for fundamental rights. This scenario involves the greatest challenge: putting scientists, lawyers, engineers and the biggest IT corporations at the table of discussions. Each, in good faith, must explain how their field works and accept proposals for improvement. The best result we could have would be the integration of artificial intelligence into everyday life, with the aim of improving people's lives, increasing their level of knowledge and respecting their fundamental rights. This article highlights the current challenges and proposes lines of dialogue between all stakeholders to elaborate a fair and flexible regulatory framework for technological development. For this we use a doctrinal, comparative and interdisciplinary methodology to explore how AI affects human rights in legal systems. Also, it analyzes legal frameworks, ethical concerns, and technological implications, compares international regulations, and proposes normative solutions to ensure transparency, fairness, and accountability in AI-driven legal decision-making.
