Transformarea societății prin cercetare științifică: provocări juridice privind protecția drepturilor fundamentale în epoca Inteligenței artificiale [Articol]

Abstract

Scientific research plays a crucial role in shaping contemporary society, especially in the digital era, where artificial intelligence and emerging technologies generate both opportunities and systemic risks. This article explores how research supports the protection of fundamental rights and the adaptation of legal systems in Romania and the Republic of Moldova. Particular attention is given to challenges such as data protection, privacy, biometric surveillance, algorithmic discrimination, and access to digital technologies. By comparing the legislative frameworks of both states and their alignment with European and international standards, the study underlines the importance of legal scholarship in ensuring proportionality, legitimacy, and respect for democratic values.
