ABSTRACT

This article critically examines whether current legal frames adapt to rapid advances in digital surveillance technologies such as artificial intelligence, biometric authentication, and the Internet of Things (IOT). The study is based on global regulatory models such as the GDPR and CCPA, and examines the growing gap between legislative reform and technological innovation. We examine the legal and ethical implications of mass surveillance, algorithmic monitoring, and data control profiling to assess the extent to which individuals’ rights are protected in the digital age. Through case studies and comparative analysis, this paper highlights the need for proactive legal reform and international cooperation to create an adaptive and responsible monitoring framework with a focus on privacy. The investigation concludes that without timely and future-oriented intervention, the imbalance between state surveillance capabilities and individual freedoms could significantly undermine our legal rights to future privacy.
