Understanding digital discrimination: analysing Marshall McLuhan’s work through a human rights lense
No full textThe use of artificial intelligence applications is proliferating. The human rights community is documenting the impact which the employment of artificial intelligence decision-making processes has on the values and rights protected by international human rights treaties. The United Nations Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance E. Tendayi Achiume emphasizes the need to consider the employment of digital technologies in light of the social, economic and political forces which shape the design and use of these technologies. This article employs Marshall McLuhan’s scholarship as a lens of analysis to investigate how the operation of artificial intelligence decision-making processes bears on the values which the prohibition of discrimination protects. It interprets McLuhan’s scholarship through a human rights lens. The paper identifies some of the ways in which the operation of artificial intelligence decision-making processes transforms the subjects of the decision-making and how other individuals perceive them. It uncovers the role of artificial intelligence decision-making processes in the production of inequality.
