Summary/Abstract: AI brings ethical and legal issues, the discrimination, and workplace safetyrisks. Decision making through AI techniques is changing the relationships between individuals as we know them today. The development of AI and the integration of these systems into essential services for the population can accentuate imbalances in society and between states. Generating certain predictive models by identifying patterns in the collected data and grouping people in this way can lead to discrimination against certain groups (bias can be encoded in algorithms). Errors or biases may also occur that affect the integrity and confidentiality of information where it is difficult to understand how AI makes data security decisions. In the absence of human supervision and boundary drawing, autonomous AI may hold big surprises. The article will analyse some aspects related to the risks that the use of AI systems involves on fundamental rights, with reference to private life, data protection, non-discrimination regarding and to the effects that the development of AI has in creating new social inequalities.
