Abstract:Over time the role of technology is extremely important in shaping economic and geopolitical order. Artificial intelligence has captured great attention in recent years from governments, academia, and the public.AI will be the “game changer” of the era as it can transform the productivity and GDP potential of the global economy. The greatest economic gains from AI will be in China (26% boost to GDP in 2030) and North America (14.5% boost). The adoption of AI technology will direct impact on human rights. The main challenge of this evolution is that AI could widen gaps between countries, companies, and workers. AI may widen performance gaps between countries. As artificial intelligence continues to find its way into our daily lives, its propensity to interfere with human rights only gets more severe. However, experts have only just begun to look at the impact of artificial intelligence on human rights, and so far they do not even seem to agree on what the term means.An universally accepted term for human rights by all parties involved (states, organizations, institutions, etc.) seems to be one of the biggest challenges in forming an international legal framework for Artificial Intelligence. In order to define a universal concept of human rights in the new era, the cultural and historical backgrounds of all actors in the international system must be taken into account, because only then they will be universal. All nations should collaborate to promote and protect human rights with the people-centered approach and facilitate the building of the community with a shared future for mankind.
