The unmatched technological achievements in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, computer science, and related fields over the last few decades can be considered a success story. The technological sophistication has been so groundbreaking in various types of applications that many experts believe that we will see, at some point or another, the emergence of general AI (GAI) and, eventually, superintelligence. This book examines the impact of AI on human rights by (focusing on potential risks) and human rights legislation and proposes creating a Universal Convention for the Rights of AI Systems (AI Convention).
