Your Digital Rights Matter

The European Union’s Declaration on Digital Rights and Principles establishes the foundation for a fair and inclusive digital society built on six core principles:

• People at the centre
• Solidarity and inclusion
• Freedom of choice online
• Participation in the digital public space
• Safety and security Sustainability

These principles guarantee that technology upholds fundamental rights, including privacy, freedom of expression, and robust data protection. Far from being aspirational, they serve as the basis for legislation such as the EU AI Act—the world’s first comprehensive regulatory framework for artificial intelligence.

The EU AI Act introduces a risk-based approach: banning harmful practices, imposing strict compliance obligations on high-risk AI applications such as recruitment and credit scoring, and mandating transparency for generative AI systems. Its objective is clear: to ensure technological progress aligns with human rights, ethical standards, and legal certainty.

For organisations, embracing these principles today means leading with trust and responsibility in tomorrow’s digital world.
