Human Rights Risks in AI Regulation: A Comparative Study of Italy and Albania

by Andrea Mazelliu, Ledja (Burnazi) Mitllari and Eralda (Methasani) Çani

This research explores human rights implications and potential risks associated with the deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Albania and Italy, adopting a comparative research approach. It analyses the AI-related international framework that binds Italy and Albania through supranational mechanisms. Through this approach, the study provides standards and critical reflections to inform national legislation. While Italy and Albania differ in their historical and legislative trajectories, both face similar challenges in integrating AI into public governance and private sectors, particularly concerning transparency, accountability, human oversight, and data protection. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal and institutional frameworks of both neighbouring countries, which have each undertaken initiatives to promote the development and use of controllable AI systems. Ultimately, the study underlines the need for AI governance models based on a human-centric approach which serves as the best guarantee for the preservation of human rights.
