Mapping Artificial Intelligence and Human Intersections: Why We Need New Perspectives on Harm and Governance in Human Rights

Tetyana (Tanya) Krupiy and Jaqueline McLeod Rogers

Chapter 17 in Research Handbook on Global Governance, 2025, pp 384-409 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The chapter examines the relationship between artificial intelligence technology, governance and global governance. Since the deployment of artificial intelligence technology bears on the enjoyment of fundamental rights, the chapter identifies international human rights law as having a pivotal role in serving as a tool of global governance for regulating this technology. The chapter uses the theoretical framework of media ecology to demonstrate that technologies should be understood as producing effects in a complex manner. Such effects cascade from the level of the individual to those of community, society and the global community. The chapter proposes that in order for international human rights law to be an effective tool of global governance in regard to artificial intelligence technology, it is necessary to reconceptualise the concepts of harm and governance. It is vital to interpret existing legal norms in a purposive manner in order to accommodate this process of rethinking.
