Abstract:

Technological developments, the internet and social media have made it easier to access and share news, information and ideas. These developments have also led to opportunities for unlawful interference with freedom of expression. Online platforms are constantly being loaded with an overwhelming amount of content. Regarding these contents, content personalization and content moderation are carried out through artificial intelligence, especially in search engines and social media. For this reason, internet users’ freedom of expression is limited and they have access to more limited information. Additionally, users can be manipulated for political or commercial purposes with disinformation through artificial intelligence. This use of artificial intelligence poses a potential risk of violation of freedom of expression guaranteed by international regulations. States, companies that produce or use artificial intelligence technology, the media and users have duties against these risks. In this article, artificial intelligence, forms of artificial intelligence, ways of interfering with freedom of expression through artificial intelligence, current and possible problems and solution suggestions are discussed.
