Abstract

Background

As an exploratory research, our paper aims to describe how social media platforms are reshaping our processes of memory-making. Artificial intelligence, algorithms and deep learning are changing the situation we dig into our past radically and forever, determining what is memorable to us. We relate the right to identity with individual memory and the incidence of memory processes in the identity of each person. Finally, we characterize the way in which technology alters our memory through different ways.

Methods

This is basic research. We use qualitative methods to understand people's beliefs, experiences, attitudes, behavior, and interactions with social media and AI. We make use of sources of international and domestic Law.

Results

Results have implications for new well-being interventions which take into account the relationship between internet and AI on human memory and the incidence they have in the re-creation of the human right to identity.

Conclusions

We as humans increasingly tend to rely on the internet as an external hard drive of memories. This change deprives us of the natural process of remembering things. In due time, individual changes in the process of remembering will impact the social process, changing as a result the social memory of a community. As a result, the personal and the social categories of the right to identity will also be altered.
