Abstract

With the emergence and rapid development of the digital economy, new challenges to the protection of human rights arise. Digital technologies, artificial intelligence, big data, and other innovations offer many opportunities for the development of society, but they also threaten fundamental human rights and freedoms. One of the biggest challenges is the collection and processing of personal data. In the digital economy, large amounts of personally identifiable information are stored and used by companies and governments. Organisations and governments are making efforts to improve cybersecurity by developing and implementing strong security measures, including data encryption, multi-level authentication, and monitoring of cyberattacks. It is important to provide adequate cybersecurity training and education for both employees and citizens. This will help raise awareness of cyber threats and teach people how to protect their personal information. Artificial intelligence (AI) can lead to the automation of decision-making processes, which can affect people's rights and freedoms. For example, AI systems may be involved in decision-making processes regarding employment, credit scoring, or even offences. However, it is important to ensure that the algorithms are fair, transparent, and take into account the rights and needs of people. This article examines the challenges that arise in the digital economy, as well as the prospects and ways to protect human rights in this new environment. Foreign and domestic examples of the impact of technology development on human rights are summarised. Ways to improve the system of working with open data in Ukraine over the past 3 years are presented.
