Abstract
In the context of the digital revolution, including the large-scale development and integration of artificial intelligence technologies into social life, human rights (including the rights of children and youth) can no longer be regarded as a static cross-sectoral legal institution. Over the past decade, new «digital human rights» or «human rights in the digital environment» have emerged, while «traditional» human rights have undergone transformation. It is crucial to take this trend into account when creating comprehensive public-law mechanisms for safeguarding human rights and freedoms directly within the digital environment, with the effective use of information (digital) technologies for such protection. The paper presents the results of an analysis of key risks to human rights in the context of the development of artificial intelligence technologies, as well as the specific features of the transformation of «traditional» human rights under these conditions. Particular attention is given to potential vectors of influence that AI technologies may exert on human rights.
