Human Rights Articles

Volume 10 Issue 1 December 2025

Abstract

The growing significance of artificial intelligence (AI) in public services, governance, and private sector innovation has raised questions about whether it complies with human rights laws worldwide. While it creates unparalleled opportunities to protect and promote human rights, democracy, and the rule of law, it also poses enormous challenges and threats to democratic processes, infringements on human dignity and autonomy, and the misuse of AI by states, violating international human rights norms. Recognizing these dual aspects of AI, the Council of Europe has taken initiatives to ensure AI development and application align with established human rights standards. It urges addressing the ethical and legal implications of digital and AI technologies, which provide practical guidance for lawmakers and human rights lawyers. This will be accomplished by reviewing existing policies, doing extensive legal research, and analyzing the UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence. Drawing on global best practices, the article proposes actionable recommendations for Bangladesh to harmonize its digital governance with international human rights norms. By embedding rights-based safeguards into AI policy and legal reforms, Bangladesh can ensure the development of ethical, inclusive, and accountable AI, while mitigating the risk of technological harm.
