The legal security and liability issues that have emerged with the rapid development of artificial intelligence (hereinafter - AI) technologies have become one of the key legal and scholarly challenges of the modern age in the context of international law and human rights. This article examines the impact of artificial intelligence on human rights, especially the right to respect for private life, the principle of non-discrimination, freedom of expression and data confidentiality. The study analyzes the normative frameworks and guiding principles put forward by influential international organizations such as the Council of Europe, UNESCO and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) regarding the ethical and legal governance of artificial intelligence. In the light of the general principles of international law, the article emphasizes the imperative to adhere to principles of transparency, lawfulness, and data minimization during the data collection and processing phase. The article thoroughly examines issues such as legal gaps, the concept of technological neutrality, and the legal personhood or status of artificial intelligence. In this context, leading legal scholars and ethical theorists such as Luciano Floridi and Frank Pasquale emphasize that technology is inherently non-neutral and highlight the importance of establishing mechanisms for the legal accountability of artificial intelligence systems based on scientifically grounded principles. The study proceeds by presenting the comparative regulatory models adopted by jurisdictions such as the European Union, the United States, China, and South Korea regarding the legal governance of artificial intelligence. As a result, the article underscores the need to develop flexible, accountable, and human rights-compliant mechanisms at both the international and domestic levels, grounded in the principle of technological neutrality, in order to ensure the safe, lawful, and ethical development of artificial intelligence.
