Cairo – The Arab Parliament has emphasized the critical need to strike a balance between the rapid technological advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the preservation of fundamental legal principles and human values. The statement was made Saturday by Mohamed bin Ahmed Al Yamahi, Speaker of the Arab Parliament.
Al Yamahi highlighted the importance of ensuring that the development and implementation of AI technologies do not compromise the core tenets of justice and the judicial system. He stressed that while AI offers immense potential, its application must be carefully considered to safeguard the impartiality of judges and their central role in delivering fair and equitable outcomes.
“It is imperative that we navigate the rise of AI with a clear understanding of its potential impact on our legal frameworks and societal values,” Al Yamahi stated. “We must ensure that technological progress serves to enhance, not undermine, the principles of justice, fairness, and human dignity.”
The Arab Parliament’s statement reflects growing global concerns about the ethical and legal implications of AI. As AI systems become increasingly sophisticated and integrated into various aspects of life, including the justice system, it is crucial to address potential risks and ensure that these technologies are used responsibly and ethically.
The Parliament is calling for further dialogue and collaboration among policymakers, legal experts, and technology developers to establish clear guidelines and regulations for the development and deployment of AI in a manner that aligns with the values and principles of the Arab world. This includes addressing issues such as bias in algorithms, data privacy, and accountability for AI-driven decisions.
DZWatch will continue to monitor developments on this important issue.
