Artificial Intelligence impact on Security and Rights

Artificial Intelligence is a technology with the potential to transform our life and our society, it appears to be the answer to several societal challenges that we face and being a real engine of economic development. However, we must properly study and address the legal, ethical, and socio-economic concerns that arise from its development and use.
The present study aims to identify the effects of AI systems on citizens' security, data, and freedoms as an integral part of society.
We give an overview of the concepts needed to understand the context and the inner workings of AI, then, studied concrete examples of AI applications in the security domain, specifically in the domains of Cybersecurity, Predictive Policing and Video Surveillance using Facial Recognition.
There are clear indicators that AI will bring about added efficacy and efficiency to the processes that the systems address, but we also concluded that there may be interference on citizens’ freedoms, rights and guarantees in the use of AI systems. We reflected on the measures that assure the development and use of AI systems in a responsible, ethical, and safe manner.
This challenge, requires us to follow a path of awareness of the capabilities and impacts of AI development, identifying guidelines to ensure respect for the citizens’ freedoms, rights and guarantees, while benefiting from the fruits of this technology.
