Abstract

Freedom of expression is among those rights which everyone should have. With the development of the Internet and social networking sites, freedom of expression of views, opinions, and ideologies has become easy. Thus, individuals have got the right tools which help them express their views on various matters. On the other hand, it needs to be noted that some of those tools through which individuals get freedom of expression have been misused, and this resulted in the spreading of misinformation. The question is how to achieve the freedom of expression without harming people with misinformation. There are various ways to address this problem. One way is to use the technology of artificial intelligence to moderate the content and get rid of misinformation on websites. Algorithms and networks can play this role. It should be noted that there are ethical and legal challenges associated with artificial intelligence as well since there is no such concept as algorithm neutrality.

The growing significance of the Internet in the future implies that the future of freedom of speech relies upon the use of AI
