Jointly Protecting People's Rights in Digital Era
BEIJING, June 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Emerging technologies like AI, big data and the Internet of Things are rapidly reshaping the world in this era of digital intelligence. However, they are also bringing challenges to human rights, which makes joint efforts essential. Science and Technology Daily spoke with international experts on these issues against the backdrop of the 2025 China-Europe Seminar on Human Rights hosted by the China Society for Human Rights Studies and Cátedra China Foundation in Madrid, Spain, on June 25 on the theme 'Human Rights in the Era of Digital Intelligence.' One major challenge is the persisting digital divide between different countries and regions. To better protect digital rights in underprivileged countries — particularly in the Global South — governments, in partnership with international organizations such as the International Telecommunication Union and World Bank, must prioritize building Internet infrastructure in rural and underserved areas, Denis Simon, a visiting professor at the Asian Pacific Studies Institute, Duke University, said. The digital divide is not merely a matter of infrastructure — it also involves education, economic capacity, policy frameworks and global inequalities in technological power, Simon said, adding that large-scale investments in digital literacy, especially for women, youth and marginalized communities, are critical. Dr. Mohammad Saiyedul Islam, a senior lecturer and researcher at the School of Overseas Education (School of Foreign Languages), Sanming University, China, stressed that digital education initiatives, such as teaching people how to use technology safely, recognizing misinformation and disinformation, and understanding their rights online, are equally important. China has made significant strides through infrastructure investment, Internet access, digital infrastructure, and inclusive policies when it comes to bridging the digital divide, Islam said. The country has rapidly expanded 5G networks and fiber-optic coverage to rural and remote areas, with initiatives like the 'Digital Rural Revitalization Strategy' bringing high-speed internet to millions of villages. Programs like Smart Villages and e-commerce poverty alleviation initiatives have connected millions of small producers to national markets. Targeted programs in digital literacy have been launched, especially for the elderly, rural residents and ethnic minorities, Simon said. Despite bringing benefits to people's daily life, AI is a double-edged sword. Osuagwu Obinna Ikechukwu, a Master's student at Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said AI challenges include data privacy violations, algorithmic bias, threats to intellectual property, and opaque decision-making. Addressing these requires robust data governance, transparent and accountable AI systems, and inclusive design processes. Simon pointed out that AI systems introduce profound new risks to fundamental rights due to their complexity, opacity and governance requires coordinated global action, as no single country can regulate cross-border algorithms, datasets, or platforms alone. A global framework developed through collaboration between governments, tech companies, civil society and experts could help set clear ethical guidelines and legal protections for issues like privacy, fairness and accountability, said Islam. It is also vital to include voices from the Global South and other underrepresented regions. Bridging the digital divide and ensuring responsible AI governance needs joint efforts — and the younger generation has a crucial role to play in it. The younger generation is both the most affected by and the most capable of shaping the digital future, Simon said. He suggested that young people leverage social media and online platforms to educate, mobilize and advocate for equitable digital policies, and help close the digital literacy gap by mentoring peers and older generations. Governments and international bodies should institutionalize youth consultation in digital governance discussions, he added. View original content: SOURCE Science and Technology Daily

Boundless Art Park! The 10th Nanjing University of the Arts 520 Graduation Exhibition Carnival Embraces AI
NANJING, China, May 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On May 20th, the 10th Nanjing University of the Arts 520 Graduation Exhibition Carnival kicked off with the theme 'Embracing AI, Digital Intelligence Empowers.' More than 90 art exhibitions and performances will continue through late June, offering global audiences an immersive experience of the new face of art education in the era of digital intelligence. A Media Snippet accompanying this announcement is available in this link. Video: At the opening ceremony, two pioneers - Mr. Cai Yuanpei, a trailblazer of modern education in China, and Mr. Liu Haisu, a founding figure of the New Art Movement and modern art education - made a remarkable appearance 'across time and space' through high-precision digital human technology. As esteemed figures from the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts (the predecessor of Nanjing University of the Arts), they came together to pass on the spiritual torch of aesthetic and art education. The spark of artificial intelligence is illuminating a new chapter in artistic creation, while a decade of dedicated cultivation is now resonating with the powerful voice of innovation in the digital-intelligence era. Highlights such as the 'Digital Intelligence · Chinese Attire' fashion design graduation showcase, the Bubble Music Festival Jazz Season, and the all-Chinese opera Thunderstorm jointly performed by Chinese and Canadian students are among the many standout events. This year's vibrant '520" celebration has attracted enthusiastic participation from art institutions in the United States, Australia, Italy, Singapore, Thailand, and more. Together with faculty and students from Nanjing University of the Arts, they are presenting a boundary-breaking, multicultural artistic feast. 'Over the past decade, Nanjing University of the Arts has pursued the vision of 'a campus-wide showcase, a city-wide celebration,' turning it into a vivid reality of 'a city and a university thriving together in symbiosis.' By embedding the DNA of art into the fabric of the city, we've created a cultural emblem that shines in Nanjing and radiates across Jiangsu,' said Yu Feng, Party Secretary of Nanjing University of the Arts.
