Abstract

This article explores the intricate relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and the fundamental human right to life, with a specific focus on the context of a few African countries. The article begins by establishing a contextual understanding of both AI and the right to life, examining their theoretical underpinnings and historical development. It then looks at the relationship between AI and the right to life and how AI technologies are being deployed in the selected African countries, particularly in contexts relevant to the right to life, such as healthcare, criminal justice, transportation and disaster response. The article then looks at the ethical considerations that arise from the intersection of AI and the right to life in African contexts particularly in the context of three contentious issues that the right raises, namely, the death penalty, abortion and euthanasia. This is followed by an overview of the legal and policy frameworks governing AI in these countries, and how they address concerns related to the right to life. The article concludes with lessons from the experiences of South Africa, Mauritius, Egypt, and Kenya in navigating the ethical challenges of AI governance, and recommendations on what these countries can learn from each other on one hand and what they can learn together, on the other.

Abstract

This article aims to examine the possibility of incorporating the right to adequate housing as a fundamental right in the Bill of Rights of the Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania (Tanzanian Constitution). Specifically, the article argues that the current strategy for protecting and fulfilling this right is ineffective and inefficient. This is due to the Constitution’s classification of the right under the so-called directive principles of state policy, rendering it unenforceable. The article acknowledges and addresses various critiques and perspectives that maintain that social and economic rights (SERs) are challenging to recognize as fundamental rights, complicating their judicial enforcement due to their intricate nature, content, and scope. On the other hand, the right to adequate housing is an example of those socio-economic rights that South Africa has successfully included in its Constitution. South Africa has also established a strong body of jurisprudence on the enforcement of such rights. In doing so, South Africa has demonstrated that SERs can indeed be recognized as fundamental rights and enforced in court. In light of South Africa's experiences in the protection of socio-economic rights including the right to adequate housing, this article explores the lessons that Tanzania can learn from South Africa, focusing on the reasonable and meaningful approaches adopted by the South African Constitutional Court in enforcing the right of access to adequate housing.
