Digitalization and International Human Rights Law: the Protection of the Right to Digital Privacy in the AI Era

Abstract

Digital privacy rights in the age of artificial intelligence (AI) have become the critical component of data safety and privacy rights within the modern digital environment. With the rapid adoption of AI technologies in a variety of aspects of everyday experience, the issue of the security and privacy of personal data has increased. People should be able to control their information and they should be guaranteed that their data will not be escaped or misused. This is especially needed because the AI systems are becoming skilled in harvesting, analyzing, and consuming large amounts of personal information. The developers and firms working in the field of AI ought to pay more attention to privacy using the strongest encryption tools, safe storage measures, and clear guidelines on data-processing. In addition, laws should advocate this right by making organizations responsible whenever their activities were violated or abuse of the rights of digital privacy. In protecting the right to online privacy in AI, it is essential to maintain trust in new technologies and prevent individuals by being harmed or abused in some way. The problem of AI and digital privacy has become more and more obvious. The right of people to their digital privacy is more than ever since the advent of AI technology and its integration into many spheres of life. Digital privacy is a basic human right, and it should be ensured and preserved during the production and implementation of AI technologies. In line with this finding, the present study will provide an in-depth analysis of the intersection of digital transformation with the international human rights law, specifically the law of the right to digital privacy in the era of artificial intelligence. The research, based on the descriptive and analytical approach, outlines the right to digital privacy and examines the law that is relevant to its protection in the era of the digital revolution in the age of artificial intelligence. The paper argues that there will be no safeguarding of privacy and personal data unless domestic law is enacted that provides protections over individual personal data and an electronically aware society that will increase the awareness of any potential dangers of technology effects on privacy. Moreover, it is necessary that states join forces towards protecting the right to digital privacy and address cybercrime and privacy violations.
