HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE AGE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
As IoT extends to infrastructure and transportation systems, from smart highways to biometrically tagged 
public transportation systems, AI will continue to be used to locate individuals in real time, allowing 
governments to further restrict freedom of movement. Additionally, if AI is used to automate decisions about 
who can travel—for example, by placing people on a “Do Not Fly” or other prohibitive travel list—errors could 
result in people having their freedom of movement unjustly restricted.
