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
(AGI) 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).
