The paper adopted qualitative research design. Findings show that AI is universally relevant, but the tendency to be unfair and highly biased to the developing societies is unprecedented as the evolving tension between protecting the public space and freedom of persons is not guaranteed when used at the national entry points, in the determination of criminal cases, in medical centres and selection of workers.
