Legal protection of the right to online privacy from the risks of artificial intelligence

Abstract

This study addresses the issue of legal protection for the right to digital privacy in light of the challenges and developments posed by artificial intelligence. It discusses the risks threatening digital privacy, such as the collection of personal data without explicit consent, and the use of algorithms to analyze behaviors and predict actions, in addition to challenges related to data leaks and breaches. The research also focuses on the role of legislation and laws in striking a balance between leveraging the potential of artificial intelligence and protecting individuals’ rights to privacy. It also reviews examples of legal systems that have established restrictions and controls to regulate the use of artificial intelligence, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union, and examines the role of legal legislation in protecting privacy from the risks of artificial intelligence.

The widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) across all aspects of life has led to incidents that necessitate a re-evaluation of the rules governing criminal liability arising from its use. Current criminal liability rules demonstrate shortcomings in providing a comprehensive legal framework for addressing abuses or problems stemming from AI applications, requiring legislative and institutional efforts to keep pace with rapid technological advancements.
