| Title | Artificial intelligence and its impact on freedom of expression within the European legal framework |
| Summary | In the digital age, as Artificial Intelligence technologies rapidly integrate into modern life, their influence on fundamental rights, particularly freedom of expression, is increasingly significant. The thesis explores the implications of AI on freedom of expression, addressing issues like misinformation, deepfakes, surveillance, content moderation, bias and discrimination. It evaluates the European AI approach, examining legal frameworks of the Council Of Europe (COE) and the European Union (EU), focusing on recently adopted regulations such as the EU AI Act and the Convention on AI, Human rights, democracy and the rule of law, along with case law analysis. The methodological framework adopted is doctrinal, which allows legal analysis, and examination of legal principles, rules, and doctrines, to gain a holistic understanding of the legal dimensions of AI. The research indicates that current regulations aim to ensure AI development aligns with human rights standards. However, the fast-paced evolution of AI technologies presents ongoing challenges for legal systems. The study underscores the need for continued vigilance and adaptation in AI regulation to protect freedom of expression. It advocates for a collaborative approach of stakeholders to foster ethical AI development that upholds fundamental rights while enabling technological advancement. |
