The OECD.AI Policy Navigator

the Bill of Rights of the Person in the Digital Environment is a bulwark for all those people who have not bothered to read the fine print every time we download an application, enter a social network or make an electronic purchase, as it will help us to become aware of the risks we face when making use of technologies, but also that we are not alone in defending our rights.

Therefore, the function of this document is to establish guidelines, instruments, indicators, goals, strategies, codes of good practice, models and comprehensive, systemic, continuous and evaluable policies aimed at meeting the objectives of said regulations, which implies that this document is more of a code of good practice than a binding one.This takes into account, among other things, that the development of Artificial Intelligence has allowed the storage of amounts of information unimaginable to the human mind and, from this, predictive profiles of individual or collective behavior can be generated and, in gloomy scenarios, it can be possible not only to predict, but also to generate and implement consumption or behavioral models in important sectors of society.That is why the inclusion of a chapter dedicated to the ethical use of Artificial Intelligence is innovative. Where, without a doubt, it is reiterated that the use of AI has become increasingly recurrent: social networks, applications and programs, scientific research and even medical applications. Given this importance, we must be aware of the need to have a specialized legal framework; However, and in view of the rapid development of this technology, it is practically impossible to point out specific rules “ which provide for each and every one of the legal cases that could occur “ but the regulatory development must be aimed at providing for general cases.Based on the above, the following rights were recognized in the respective chapter: the first of them is that of the use of artificial intelligence centered on the person, which implies the respect, protection and promotion of human dignity and the rights of the person in the use of AI, which is why it was established that the use of such technology must, always, to promote the healthy and integral development of all.Secondly, the inclusion of the right to privacy and protection of personal data with a focus on AI was considered necessary. This right has several dimensions.The third right is related to transparency and access to information in use of AI. In this regard, it was considered necessary to establish the right of every person to receive information related to decision-making by AI, and that such information, invariably, makes known who is the person responsible for its use. Similarly, developers are expected to adopt transparency measures aimed at specifying the way in which these systems work and the factors considered for decision-making or specific predictions.The last right is safety in the use of AI, where it is enshrined that the measures implemented for this purpose must guarantee both personal integrity and human rights through the prevention and elimination of risks.
