  abstract     = {{The widespread use of AI in society has been heralded as bringing enormous potential for <br/>economic growth, scientific advancements and increasing human well-being. At the same <br/>time, human rights concerns related to AI has come to the forefront. Many of these concerns <br/>touch on familiar and established human rights such as the right to private life, freedom of <br/>expression and the right to equality and non-discrimination. At the same time, the way AI <br/>challenges human rights and impacts upon key human interests seem to reveal the limitations <br/>of the framework. It has been critiqued that human rights, whether it is in relation to specific <br/>rights or the framework as a whole, is inadequate in addressing novel challenges posed by AI. <br/>Relatedly, new rights have been proposed to address these drawbacks, alongside alternative <br/>approaches, such as focus on ethical principles or changes proposed towards how human <br/>rights are enforced or protected in the age of AI. The article examines the limitations of <br/>human rights in relation to AI from three angles: operational, conceptual and foundational, <br/>and the measures proposed to address these limits. It finds that the limitations are non-trivial <br/>and a human rights revival through creative tools and foundational re-thinking is needed in <br/>order to protect important human interests and capacities that are increasingly being harmed, <br/>mediated and influenced by and through the use of AI.}},
