ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE REDEFINING OF CITIZEN RIGHTS IN THE AGE OF ALGORITHMIC GOVERNANCE

Abstract

The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence technologies, especially in relation to digital governance, the provision of public services and ensuring public security, has presented the traditional order of citizenship rights with new conceptual challenges. If in the classical view, citizenship rights were based on ensuring civil liberties, political rights and social protections against state authority, today intelligent systems and data-driven decision-making have become effective actors in limiting or developing these rights. In the era of algorithmic governance, the exercise of power is no longer based solely on human decisions or traditional legal frameworks, but is based on the architecture of intelligent systems and data processing. This development has given rise to theoretical and practical challenges in the field of citizenship rights. This article, with an analytical-conceptual approach and using library resources, while reviewing classical citizenship theories, examines the effects of algorithmic governance on key components of citizenship rights and seeks to explain the relationship between artificial intelligence and the fundamental components of citizenship rights and pay attention to rethinking in this area. Based on this analysis, a multi-layered model of guaranteeing citizenship rights is presented, which includes a normative, institutional, and technical layer. The proposed model shows that protecting citizens' rights in algorithmic government requires the convergence of normative principles, institutional structure, and technical design, and without this coherence, it will be difficult to guarantee citizens' rights in practice. This framework can be used as a basis for policymaking, standardization, and oversight of AI systems in public domains and government services.
