Book Review: AI and the Human Rights of Minorities
(Károli Gáspár Református Egyetem, 2025) Saleem, Rutaba; Corvinus Egyetem
This book review analyses Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights (Oxford University Press, 2023), an edited volume by Alberto Quintavalla and Jeroen Temperman, which provides a comprehensive examination of how artificial intelligence (AI) technologies intersect with international human rights law. Focusing on nine key chapters, the review emphasises the book’s relevance for minority protection. It examines how biased data, and opaque algorithms reproduce structural discrimination in policing, employment, and digital speech regulation; how facial recognition and predictive analytics threaten liberty, assembly, and privacy; and how “digital authoritarianism” is proportionately targets ethnic and religious minorities in the Global South. The contributors’ interdisciplinary approach, bridging law, ethics, and computer science, underscores that algorithmic harms are embedded throughout the AI life cycle and must be anticipated through rights based risk assessments rather than mitigated ex post facto. The book’s novelty lies in integrating minority protection into broader debates on AI governance and in advocating for participatory mechanisms that include affected communities in the design of regulations.
