Abstract

Artificial intelligence represents one of the most revolutionary technologies of the 21st
century, capable of profoundly transforming the relationship between the individual, the
state, and society. The rapid development of machine learning algorithms, facial recognition
systems, and predictive analytics technologies raises complex issues regarding
constitutionally guaranteed fundamental rights and freedoms.
In the Republic of Moldova, the process of adapting the legal framework to new digital
challenges is ongoing, while doctrinal debates are shaped by experiences from other
European and international jurisdictions. This study aims to analyze the challenges posed by
artificial intelligence in relation to fundamental rights, with particular emphasis on the
constitutional dimension and comparative models in different countries.
