As artificial intelligence technology advances rapidly, many countries have begun deploying algorithms in public decision-making, such as criminal sentencing, loan approvals, or recruitment screening. However, when algorithms err or are trained on biased data, the consequences are often far harder to trace and rectify than human decisions. Given this reality, should legislation prohibit AI from making autonomous decisions in areas involving citizens' fundamental rights? Or is it sufficient to retain a final human veto, trusting that the efficiency and objectivity of algorithms prove their benefits outweigh the harms? Please clarify your stance, provide reasons, and support your view with concrete examples.
