3.2 Dignity
It is the duty of all members of society to mutually respect and protect this right as one of the basic and inviolable rights of every human being. Every individual has the right to protect own dignity: violation or non respect of this right is sanctioned by law.
Human dignity (further: dignity) should be understood as a starting principle (principle) that focuses on the preservation of human integrity. Based on that premise, the persons to whom these Guidelines refershould at all times, regardless of the stage in which the concrete artificial intelligence solution isIdevelopment, application or use), keep in mind the person and his integrity as a central concept. In thisregard, it is necessary to develop systems that, at every stage, make it imperative to respect theperson's personality, his freedom and autonomy.
Respecting human personality means creating a system that will respect the cognitive, social andcultural characteristics of each individual. The artificial inteligence systems that are being developed must be in accordance with the above, therefore it is necessary to take care that they cannot in any waylead to the subordination of man to the functions of the system, as well as endangering his dignity andintegrity.
In order to ensure respect for the principle of dignity, artificial intelligence systems must not be such that in the processes of work and application they grossly ignore the autonomy of human choice.
The Constitution of the Republic of Serbia emphasizes that dignity "is inviolable and everyone is obliged to respectand protect it., Evervone has the right to free personal development, if it does not violate the rights of others guaranteed by the Constitution.
The Convention on Human Rights states the following: "Human dignity (dignity) is not only a basic human right but also the foundation of human rights." Human dignity is inherent in every human being.
In the Republic of Serbia, this term is regulated in the following ways:
"The dignity of the person (honor, reputation, or piety) of the person to whom the information refers.'it is legally protected.”
"Whoever abuses another or treats him in a way that offends a human being. dignity, shall be punished by imprisonment for up to one year.
"Work in the public interest is any socially useful work that does not offend human dignity and is not done for the purpose of making a profit."
This principle emphasizes that the integrity and dignity of all who may be affected by the Artificial inteligence Systemmust be taken care of at all times, As it is a general concept, to which life, in addition to the law, gives different sides although the essence is the same, it is appropriate to attach to the concept itself: honor, reputation, that is, piety.
