Abstract
Purpose –The purpose of this paper was to identify whether artificial intelligence (AI) products can
possess human rights, how to define their rights and obligations and what ethical standards they should
follow. In this study, the human rightsethical dilemma encountered in the application and development of AI
technologyhas been focused on and analyzed in detail in the light of the existing research status of AI ethics.
Design/methodology/approach –In this study, first of all, the development and application of AI
technology, as well as the concept and characteristics of human rights ethics, are introduced. Second, the
human rights ethics of AI technology are introducedin detail, including the human rights endowment of AI
machines, the faultliability of AI machines and the moral orientation of AI machines. Finally, the approaches
to human rights ethics are proposed to ensure that AI technology serves human beings. Every link of its
research,production and application should be strictly managed and supervised.
Findings –The results show that the research in this study can provide help for the related problems
encountered in AI practice. Intelligentlibrary integrates human rights protection organicallyso that readers
or users can experience more intimateservice in this system. It is a kind of library operation mode with more
efficient and convenient characteristics, which is based on digital, networked and intelligent information
science. It aims at using the greenest way and digital means to realize the reading and research of human
rights protectionliterature in the literature analysis method.
Originality/value –Intelligent library is the future developmentmode of new libraries, which can realize
broad interconnection and sharing. It is people-oriented and can make intelligent management and service
and establish the importanceof the principle of human rights protection and the specific idea of the principle.
The development of science and technology brings not only convenience to people’s social life but also

1. Introduction
At present, one of the most advanced and popular high-tech is artificial intelligence (AI)
technology, which was born in the 1950s. After decadesof development, this technology has
now developed into an intelligent robot that can be built beyond human beings, which is
different from the original simple mode of thinking judgment robot (Park and Han, 2018).
Now AI technology has begun to study the subjectiveconsciousness of the human brain, the
formation of the subjective consciousness of the human brain,and the causes and methods
This research was supported by Chinese National fund of Social Science: Research on Improving the
Judicial Safeguard System of Human Rights in China (14AFX003).
