This document discusses the intersection of emerging artificial intelligence technologies and established human rights frameworks. It explores the ethical challenges of integrating non-human intelligences into society, referencing historical declarations of rights and debating whether machines can or should replace humans in roles requiring dignity and care. The text also touches on the necessity of making ethical decision-making explicit and algorithmic in the age of autonomous systems.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016882.jpg

The text argues against the concept of technological determinism, asserting that political freedom is driven by norms and institutions rather than technology levels. The author uses historical examples to show that repression existed in low-tech eras and that modern high-tech societies often have high degrees of freedom, countering fears of an inevitable "surveillance state."
