How technological progress affects human rights and how a balance can be achieved between progress and individual rights؟
I think technology has a significant influence on human rights, both positively and negatively. On the one hand, technological advancements can benefit human rights by increasing access to information, facilitating communication, encouraging social and political participation, and promoting economic growth. For example, the internet has changed how people access and share information, while medical technologies have improved healthcare outcomes and quality of life.
On the other hand, technological advancements can pose challenges and risks to human rights such as privacy, freedom of expression, equality, and access.
Achieving a balance between technological advancement and individual rights requires careful consideration. Proactive measures may include legal and regulatory frameworks, ethical considerations, education and digital literacy, and multi-stakeholder collaboration.
