Abstract

In this chapter, we examine digital rights and principles in terms of their implementation in legislation and reality. Human dignity, privacy and fundamental rights, such as the right to privacy and data protection, are at risk in the digital transition. In view of this, the rapid pace of digitalisation must be closely monitored and supported by a legal framework. This also affects the broader social infrastructure, in particular education, the judiciary and state enforcement mechanisms. A human-centered approach to digital transition focuses on improving wellbeing by developing technologies that are tailored to people's needs, increase efficiency and make tasks easier — not just on economic growth or profit. This vision is at the centre of the EU agenda, but its implementation is still lacking. Evidence from the first and second reports on the EU's Digital Agenda highlight these challenges. We examine two areas of digital transformation in particular: higher education, which aims to promote digital knowledge and skills, and the digital translation of intercultural communication.
