##article.abstract##

In the era of digitalization, human rights are undergoing significant changes, requiring the adaptation of international law to new challenges. The article examines the main aspects of human transformation under the influence of digital technologies such as the Internet, artificial intelligence and big data. The emphasis is placed on the issues of privacy, digital inequality, and threats associated with the use of algorithms. Examples of human rights violations are analyzed, as well as the impact of digital technologies on freedom of expression, access to information and protection from discrimination. The research methodology is based on the analysis of international legal documents, scientific theories and doctrines in the field of human rights. The author draws attention to the role of international law in protecting human rights in the digital age. The study includes both theoretical and empirical analysis, reflecting the impact of digitalization on fundamental human rights. The results of the study show that the international community is faced with the need to create new mechanisms of legal protection. An important aspect is global cooperation and the development of universal standards for regulating the digital space, preventing discrimination against algorithms and protecting vulnerable groups.
