Description: The Rights-Based Approach in artificial intelligence (AI) ethics is a framework that prioritizes and protects fundamental rights of individuals in the development and use of AI technologies. This approach is based on the premise that technology should be designed and applied in a way that respects human dignity, ensuring fairness, privacy, and non-discrimination. Instead of focusing solely on efficiency or performance, this approach seeks to ensure that automated decisions do not infringe individual rights or exacerbate existing inequalities. Key characteristics of this approach include transparency in algorithms, accountability of developers, and inclusion of the voices of affected communities in the design process. The relevance of the Rights-Based Approach lies in its ability to guide technological innovation towards a more just and equitable future, where AI is used as a tool for human empowerment rather than a means of control or exclusion. This approach also promotes the creation of policies and regulations that protect individuals from potential abuses and misunderstandings in the use of AI, fostering an environment where technology serves the common good and respects universal human rights.
