At present, digital, networked, and intelligent technologies are continuously evolving, developing, and innovating. Leading a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, it has profoundly changed human production modes, lifestyle, and way of thinking, and endowed human rights with new connotations and practical significance in the new era. Meanwhile, the global digital development divide and digital governance deficit are deepening, with increasingly prominent issues of unbalanced development, incomplete rules, and irrational order. How to prevent the emergence of the "Digital Leviathan" and respect and protect human rights in the digital era has become a common concern among global human rights scholars and practitioners. Against this backdrop, we will hold the "2025·China-Europe Human Rights Seminar" in Madrid, Spain, on June 25, 2025. Experts, scholars, government officials, industry representatives, and other stakeholders from the human rights fields of China and Europe will conduct in-depth discussions on the theme of "Human Rights in the Context of the Digital-Intelligent Era" and reach the following consensus:
First, uphold human rights values to promote the benefits of digital-intelligent technologies. Advocate that the development of digital-intelligent technologies should aim to enhance the common well-being of mankind, integrate respect for and protection of human rights throughout the entire process of scientific and technological development, ensure that technologies serve human dignity and the free and all-round development of individuals, and safeguard the common well-being of mankind through the goodness of digital-intelligent technologies.
Second, ensure a secure and trustworthy digital-intelligent rights environment. Attach great importance to cybersecurity, data security, critical information infrastructure security, platform supervision, and personal privacy, promote the lawful, orderly, and free flow of data, and prevent human rights violations caused by technological applications.
Third, promote global sharing of digital-intelligent rights with openness. Enhance the openness of digital-intelligent technologies, unleash their potential, actively promote technologies to better empower global sustainable development, support the comprehensive green transition of economic and social development, and build a development pattern of win-win cooperation and shared prosperity.
Fourth, promote universal access to digital-intelligent rights and interests through development. Strive to narrow the digital divide between individuals and countries, support digital capacity building in developing countries, provide continuous, stable, and affordable digital products and services to digitally disadvantaged groups, and ensure that everyone benefits equally from digital development opportunities.
Fifth, ensure non-discrimination and timely rights relief with transparency. Continuously improve algorithmic transparency, strive to achieve the fairness of intelligent systems, respect citizens' rights and fundamental freedoms in cyberspace, and ensure that citizens can obtain timely and effective legal protection and rights relief when technological applications lead to rights violations.
Sixth, build a community with a shared future in cyberspace through cooperation. Firmly adhere to multilateralism, adhere to fairness and justice, oppose division and confrontation in the digital space, reject technological monopolies, enable digital-intelligent technologies to better benefit mankind, and ensure that hundreds of millions of people have a stronger sense of participation and gain in sharing the development achievements of digital-intelligent technologies.
