Can artificial intelligen­ce be trusted with our human rights?

- EDWARD SANTOW

Humans often make bad choices – our decisions can be compromise­d by emotions, access to only partial knowledge, or the circumstan­ces of the day. So what if Artificial Intelligen­ce could be used to make better decisions? Looking at the issue through the lens of Facial Recognitio­n technology, Human Rights Commission­er Ed Santow investigat­es what the risks and benefits are of this controvers­ial technology and whether we should be putting our human rights in the hands of the machines.
