Abstract Views: 0

Digital human rights require careful definition and protection in the contemporary digital landscape. This research employs a jurisprudential analysis based on international law to clarify the evolving nature of digital human rights. Through a methodological approach encompassing a legal framework review, case study analysis, and policy recommendations, the intricate relationship between technology and human rights is examined. Key findings emphasize the importance of international law in protecting digital human rights while also identifying existing legal deficiencies and obstacles. The research further underscores the transformative potential, and associated risks, of artificial intelligence and machine learning. The conclusion presents a future-oriented perspective, advocating for international collaboration and substantial revisions to existing legal frameworks to promote a digital environment that respects human rights. The research also encourages further investigation into the ethical dimensions of emerging technologies, emphasizing the need for innovation guided by human rights principles.
