Summary/Abstract: There is a (re)new world that has emerged with the introduction of Artificial Intelligence – AI in all life features – from an abstract and distant idea to the life of humanity in all its dimensions. Artificial Intelligence has created a serious challenge, both in terms of exploiting its full potential and the serious threat it may pose. It is undeniable that Artificial Intelligence is not just a “simple” evolution, but a deep change in the paradigm of cyberspace, as it involves itself in all ‘real’ life, beyond the borders of states, as an unknown “world/life” that challenges human life in all its dimensions. Our research focuses on analyzing this context based on Karel Vasak's theory on Generations of Human Rights, and discussing, in an attempt to understand, whether with Artificial Intelligence we are experiencing a new generation of Human Rights in this unquestionable new reality for Human Beings, for States and Governments, for International Organizations from legal, political, economic, and social perspectives. The methodology followed in this research is qualitative, using the hypotheticaldeductive method, as it starts from a phenomenological problem, namely the impact of Artificial Intelligence on generations of Human Rights, for which there are no absolutely comprehensive explanations. In the end, we conclude that AI has the power to greatly impact existing human rights, both economically, politically, and socially, but for now, given its state of developmentand application, it does not constitute an autonomous dimension of Human Rights.
