Legal Protection of Women’s Rights in Light of Artificial Intelligence Technologies in Light of Bahraini Criminal Law—A Comparative Study
摘要
This study examines the impact of artificial intelligence on women’s rights. As these advanced technologies play a role in enhancing women’s rights, such as enhancing their opportunities for education and healthcare, enhancing their political participation, and empowering women within their communities by providing platforms for communication and knowledge exchange, and providing women with information about their rights. But On the other hand, artificial intelligence technologies may be a source of threat to women’s rights, such as their right to private life and information privacy, or threaten their reputation with scandalous images created by artificial intelligence, which affects their reputation, work, education, and mental health. In some Arab societies, women may be killed because of these images under the pretext of preserving the family’s honor, even if it is later proven that these images are fabricated and not real. Therefore, this study came to explain the most prominent risks that may threaten women’s rights due to the use of artificial intelligence technologies, and to explain the legal protections provided by Bahraini criminal law to protect women’s rights against those who misuse artificial intelligence technologies against women. This study adopts a descriptive and analytical research methodology, as it combines a description of artificial intelligence technologies and their positive and negative effects on women’s rights. The study concluded that Bahraini criminal law punishes violations of a woman’s right to privacy, as well as deepfakes that harms a woman’s reputation and puts her at risk.
