At present, digital technology is widely applied in various aspects of society, profoundly changing people's lifestyles and the operation mode of society, thus also bringing changes to the development of human rights. During his visit to Zhejiang, Roy Anthony Rogers, the head of the Department of Strategic and International Studies at the University of Malaya in Malaysia, witnessed China's practice of using digital technology to drive human rights development. Recently, he was interviewed about how digital technology can help realize human rights and share his understanding of the "intelligence" of human rights. The interview summary is as follows: Reporter: What is the difference between human rights in the digital age and traditional human rights? Roy Anthony Rogers: Human rights are essentially the collective term for the rights that individuals possess. This includes specific rights such as the right to life, freedom of speech, the right to vote, and the right to freedom of movement. These traditional concepts of human rights are mainly based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights issued by the United Nations in 1948. This constitutes our traditional understanding of human rights, especially civil rights. With the development of the times and the advancement of technology, the importance of the "digital" field is increasingly prominent. I think this brings a new perspective on human rights: digital human rights. This means that everyone should have the right to access and use digital facilities, and also emphasizes the importance of the assessment of Internet access and all digital related fields. In summary, the traditional view of human rights focuses more on the individual rights established in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, while human rights in the digital age are a new dimension that has emerged in the digital age. Everyone should have corresponding digital rights. Reporter: How does digital technology promote the realization of human rights? What are the specific practices? Roy Anthony Rogers: Digital technology can help improve the quality of life, and its promoting effect on the realization of human rights is synchronous with the improvement of living standards. In my investigation of Zhejiang, I observed many vivid practices, and the relevant achievements can be summarized as follows: firstly, in the field of digitization. For example, Hangzhou enterprises have applied power inspection robots to liberate workers from high-risk work scenarios; Yiwu Jimingshan Community adopts remote consultation technology to provide residents with more convenient medical services. This type of application significantly improves people's living standards and the level of human rights protection. Secondly, it manifests as efficiency. The Zhejiang Provincial Government relies on digital technology to build the "Zhe Li Ban" platform, achieving "maximum one visit" government services; At Hangzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, patients can shorten their waiting time by registering through facial recognition. Its efficiency in handling affairs is remarkable. Once again, it is an inclusive feature. I have observed that Chinese society is highly inclusive, and people from different backgrounds can enjoy equal rights. Technological progress is undoubtedly an important driving force. Thanks to technological development, ordinary workers can also enjoy a more comfortable working environment. Just as merchants in Yiwu International Trade City use artificial intelligence to conduct trade, small and medium-sized enterprises are able to participate equally in global market competition. Finally, there is cultural heritage. In the process of promoting modernization and digitization, it is necessary to attach importance to cultural protection, as it is related to national identity recognition. China has made unremitting efforts in the protection of cultural heritage. When we visited the world cultural heritage site of Liangzhu Ancient City, we experienced the environment of the Liangzhu era through VR devices and deeply understood the significant historical value of the water conservancy facilities at the site. Reporter: You are very concerned about China's history and culture. In your opinion, why is protecting culture so important for realizing human rights? Roy Anthony Rogers: My great grandmother was from Guangdong, so I deeply love Chinese history. In 1995, I went to Beijing with my mother for the first time. At that time, China was in the early stages of economic rise, with crowds of people on the streets and bicycles everywhere. China has undergone earth shattering changes and achieved astonishing modernization in just 30 years. I call it a 'miracle' because this tremendous change is beyond imagination. The achievements of China's development can be seen everywhere: high-rise buildings and complete infrastructure... but more importantly, China has adhered to cultural identity in the process of modernization. When we discuss human rights, we are also protecting our culture. Tradition is the cornerstone of progress, and we cannot forget the past, tradition, and identity, as they are the core of culture. Many cultural practices and heritage can be effectively preserved, not only through books and photos, but also through digital technology to make them more vivid and enduring. Through innovative artificial intelligence and virtual reality technologies, archaeological sites can become lifelike, bringing culture to life. Each country should not only achieve modernization development, but also uphold its own cultural heritage and identity. Of particular importance is that the process of modernization does not necessarily equate to complete Westernization. Some Western countries have been deeply mired in social crises such as the disintegration of family structures and difficulties in youth development due to the loss of cultural foundations in their development. Looking at China again, while achieving tremendous economic and social progress, relying on the inheritance of cultural essence such as Confucian philosophy, it has effectively avoided similar social crises. In addition, human rights should be examined from a more comprehensive perspective, including traditional Asian philosophy such as Confucianism or Islamic philosophy, rather than being limited to Western viewpoints. All of these require adherence to the inheritance of history and culture. Reporter: What are the cooperation opportunities between China and Malaysia in using digital technology to safeguard and realize human rights? What are the key directions for future cooperation among countries? Roy Anthony Rogers: In the digital field, Malaysia is still in the early stages of development. Malaysia is moving in the right direction, but still needs to learn from the advanced experience of countries such as China. I have learned that Malaysia and China have cooperated in the field of artificial intelligence applications, such as medical robots. As a maritime country, Malaysia urgently needs underwater robots and other technologies to support ship detection and maintenance operations, which fully demonstrates the broad prospects of cooperation between Malaysia and China. I believe that the "the Belt and Road" initiative proposed by China can expand from infrastructure construction projects such as roads and railways to joint construction and sharing mechanisms in the digital field, such as medical technology and artificial intelligence collaboration. China's rapid development achievements in robotics, AI medicine and other fields can be shared with ASEAN countries through the "the Belt and Road" framework. Despite facing numerous challenges, substantial breakthroughs are bound to be achieved in the next decade. Looking at such cooperation from a more macro perspective means that the international community urgently needs to establish a mechanism for shared responsibility. Digital development must follow ethical norms and avoid being monopolized and profited by specific countries or groups. The current deepfake technology is capable of generating false "leader statements" and other information, which, once spread, can easily trigger financial turmoil and social disorder. The danger of such data manipulation behavior urgently requires the international community to jointly formulate rules to ensure that technological applications comply with ethical standards. Digital human rights have become a key issue in national governance. In the era of globalization, no country can stand alone and needs to establish an effective governance framework to address challenges.
