The document discusses whether internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies help or harm human rights. It notes that these technologies can both support and endanger rights, depending on how they are used and controlled. While they may aid healthcare, safety and transparency, they also risk privacy violations and manipulation if not properly overseen by the public. The document concludes by suggesting public oversight of data use, sharing technology benefits more widely, and prioritizing solutions for important challenges like energy, healthcare and safety to help realize IoT's and AI's potential while avoiding risks to rights.
