Abstract:
Background and Aim: Domestic violence is one of the serious problems in human societies and social crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic have intensified it, particularly affecting women. Advances in artificial intelligence technology have created new opportunities and challenges for addressing domestic violence. This research was conducted with the aim of legally analyzing the challenges and limitations of applying artificial intelligence in the prevention, detection and response to domestic violence.
Method: This study uses a descriptive-analytical approach and, through a review of laws, human rights principles and international documents, examines the legal challenges of artificial intelligence in the process of addressing domestic violence.
Ethical Considerations: Honesty and trustworthiness have been observed in all stages of writing.
Results: The use of artificial intelligence in the field of domestic violence faces significant legal challenges, including preserving privacy, human dignity, the presumption of innocence, legality of offenses and penalties, limitations on data access and the potential for algorithmic bias. Cultural norms and societies' legal structures also affect the effectiveness of AI-based solutions.
Conclusion: Effective and ethical use of AI capacity requires establishing legal and ethical frameworks, investing in training specialists and developing secure platforms for information exchange. Such an approach can help prevent and effectively address domestic violence.
