Introductory Remarks

We are publishing this book as the result of a research project carried out

by the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in Spain and AFM Krakow

University in Poland. Some parts of it were already announced during a scientific

Conference organised remotely in Kraków in October 2020. It is now time to

present the research findings in writing.

The issue of Artificial Intelligence has long raised questions and interests,

including those of legal science. A number of problems have not yet been

widely analysed, despite the fact that the present time is undoubtedly a time of

technological challenges. Therefore, in the presented publication, prepared by

the international scientific community, under our scientific guidance, the authors

try to analyse the areas which, in their opinion and in our opinion, required

such analysis. The leitmotif of our scientific work was human rights and their

relationship with Artificial Intelligence. In presenting the research results in this

book, we realise that a number of issues still need to be clarified. Nevertheless,

we hope that the work presented for the reader’s consideration will constitute an

interesting voice in the discussion, a point of reference for all those dealing with

the legal issues of new technologies and the protection of human rights.

As the presented book is a collective work, the authors essentially present

their own views. The whole work has been designed to address a broad spectrum

of issues in Artificial Intelligence and human rights in a single collection. We are

convinced that such a broad view will allow everyone interested in the discussed

issues to see the essence of contemporary problems faced by the science of law in

a multinational perspective.

We encourage everyone to read the book!
