Abstract
In the 21st century, AI undeniably holds a crucial position in technological civilization. Recently, Generative AI is revolutionizing industries and daily life, offering immense convenience and benefits by producing new contents at a speed and quality that can match or even surpass human capabilities, and by providing personalized assistance in a timely manner. However, this technology also presents significant risks, including biases, privacy concerns, and the spread of misinformation. Additionally, AI-driven automation has the potential to fundamentally alter the role and significance of human creativity, more profoundly than any previous technology. In response to these challenges, there is growing global recognition of the need for legal regulation of AI. This paper examines the given topic, “Generative AI and Human Rights”, from the perspective of human vulnerability. Specifically, it provides an overview of the potentials and risks associated with Generative AI technology and the trends in AI regulation across different countries. It then discusses the human- centric approach, which has been widely adopted as a basic principle for AI regulation, from the standpoint of human dignity theory based on human vulnerability.
