ABSTRACT
The technological and digital expansion within the public sphere has witnessed a rapid growth which is shaped by globalization, media convergence, and emerging artificial intelligence technologies. These developments necessitate a fundamental makeover and reconceptualization of the human rights framework. Traditionally ingrained in the state centric sovereignty, the human rights norms are challenged by transnational digital infrastructure that facilitate communication, influence public discourse, and helps in regulating the access to information. Digital platforms are algorithmic which has transformed the nature of participation and has opened and paved the way of surpassing digital ethics by enabling unprecedented connectivity and amplifying the risks of misinformation, data exploitation and algorithmic discrimination.
This research critically examines how media ecosystems and AI driven technologies reshape the ideas of basic human rights such as the right to privacy, freedom of expression, and access to information within the digital public sphere. It proposes the integration of algorithmic transparency, accountability and digital equity within the existing legal frameworks worldwide to ensure protection of human rights in the increasingly mediated world and future of the rights in such a networked society.
Keywords: Digital public sphere, Globalization and media, AI Driven technologies, Digital ethics, Human rights (privacy, transparency, accountability).
