The latest technologies and human rights: an analysis of some critical issues of the digital era

The article examines certain aspects of human rights in the conditions of digitalization. In the conditions of the rapid development of information and communication technologies, when cyberspace becomes a platform for the interaction of citizens, society and the state, there is a need to reevaluate traditional approaches to the realization of rights through digital communications. The purpose of the research is to carry out a theoretical and legal analysis of the impact of the latest technologies on human rights, to identify problematic issues that arise in this area and to determine the trends of their further development in the conditions of digitalization. To achieve the set goal, the work uses a system of methods of scientific knowledge, in particular, general scientific, private, as well as special legal methods. It is concluded that digital technologies have changed the means by which, on the one hand, human capabilities have increased significantly, but such new means also cause massive violations of human rights around the world. The Internet has become an indispensable tool for realizing a number of human rights and accelerating economic development. However, new facts emerge every day about how digital technologies violate people's rights. Viewing new technologies from a legal perspective requires a preliminary understanding that their use has not only led to socio-economic progress, but has also significantly affected and challenged an extensive catalog of human rights. Recognizing that digital technologies have gradually taken over all aspects of human existence in developed societies, people inevitably wonder about the relationship that emerges between these technologies and the protection of human rights. It is argued that the observance of fundamental human rights and freedoms to a certain extent depends on the perfection of those normative acts and legal mechanisms that will regulate the field of artificial intelligence. The draft resolution of the European Parliament and the Council, proposed by the European Commission, establishing unified rules for artificial intelligence (Artificial Intelligence Act) and amending some EU legislative acts, is an important stage in the formation of the legal framework for the regulation of the use of artificial intelligence systems, which must withstand the challenge of time, balanced to protect fundamental rights, ensure legal certainty and stimulate innovation. It has been established that in the conditions of digitization, significant volumes of personal data are stored in a form available for transfer, distribution or exchange at various levels, including transnational. However, such processes can be risky from the point of view of personal data protection.
