Abstract

The new technologies are fundamentally changing the culture of human rights, including the right to freedom of speech, by lowering the level of sensitivity to their violation and making people gradually accustomed to systemic restrictions not only on the right to privacy but also on the sovereignty of the nation. The dependence on new information and communication technologies is transforming the constitutional identity of the democratic state ruled by law, without formally changing the existing constitution. In a situation where any kind of fictitious reality may be fashioned using AI algorithms, the freedom of speech, as a reflection of freedom of thought, comes under acute threats.
