Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the emulation of human intelligence in computers that are programmed to think and imitate their actions like humans. The word can also be applied to any computer that shows human mind-related characteristics such as learning and problem-solving. Human rights are something self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty, dignity and equality. AI is something that is increasingly being used in day to day use from our phones to home systems to self-driving systems in the car. There have been numerous instances reported where AI has intruded on the privacy of individuals hampering their human rights. It becomes important to conduct an analysis of AI in dept to study its advantages, disadvantages, impact on the lives of people and most vital is it encroaching on the human rights.
