The technological factor as such and the increasingly rapid development of artificial intelligence also affect international relations and thus require the response of states and international organizations. Every use of artificial intelligence has weak points, the abuse of which can lead to violations of fundamental human rights and freedoms. This thesis investigates the role of technology as a factor in international relations and the extent to which the international community, with the relevant normative framework, is resistant to the greatest threats to human rights violations arising from the use of artificial intelligence. The analysis of these dangers of the use of artificial intelligence is carried out on the basis of a case study of the Cambridge Analytica data scandal. The case study demonstrates dangers in three key phases: in the technology development phase, in the implementation phase and in the sanctioning phase. According to the identified dangers, an analysis of the protection of human rights in international legal documents is carried out, which concludes that resistance to violations is quite limited in the international community. The main challenge is the limited scope of legally binding documents, which leaves the basic responsibility of protecting individuals from potential human rights violations to states. The direct responsibility of states for the enforcement of norms shows a significant vulnerability of the regulation of the international protection of human rights, namely the problem of the lack of accountability of private actors in the international community.
