The Quiet Coup: AI Surveillance, Civil Privacy, and Democratic Threats

Abstract

The technocratic world rises to a crescendo anew; this time around with much passions running around the enigma of artificial intelligence, a phenomenon causing many to raise eyebrows. From the question of imitating human intelligence to ending the human supremacy in myriad fields, we are bereft of an intelligible answer when it comes to Artificial Intelligence. It would be otiose to spill out the already conspicuous influences AI. enjoys in our lives but to harness the too much dependence on its tools which in all probability could be a threat is essentially what we need to do to play safe. While the technological-savvy coterie perpetuates and experiments with AI., the vulnerabilities of this next revolution is what’s of a greater concern. The impending questions on ethics, privacy and accountability of AI. systems really need to be drawn a final curtain and the roles of each stakeholder in this effort must be set accordingly. This paper strikes the right chord with those inquisitive of the future of AI. and it concerns particularly in the field of Democracy. The contours of AI umbrella are fairly traced and the imponderable questions on human rights and stifling of privacy is discussed with inputs from the experts on the subject. The paper tries to enunciate the regulation of AI. through various legislations and constraints already in place and also traces the path of new mechanisms that could be solicited in the laws of the nation states.
