Resumen de Covid-19: AI supports the fight, but reduces rights and freedoms
COVID-19 pandemic is not just a global emergency: besides health, the impact on everyday life is enormous, as well as on rights and freedom. In order to contain the virusspread, the involved Governments (in agreement with WHO) implemented some draconian measures, derogating to laws and limiting some fundamental rights and freedoms, declared by the international Charters; furthermore, a great support in detecting and tracking the spread, came from the use of Artificial Intelligence, with a possible invasion of individual privacy. A holistic-complex analisys of the interactions between AI and social aspects, analyses the legitimacy of such strong strategies, although it highlights the need for a new paradigm, based on mutual trans-national collaboration, aimed at implementing a more adequate legislative framework, to guarantee that even the postpandemic impact would not affect human, social and political rights.
