Human Firewall

This article examines the paradox between the technological revolution and human privacy, introducing the concept of the Human Firewall as a response to the digital and biotechnological invasion of intimacy. Through a qualitative methodology based on a literature review and deep analysis of interdisciplinary sources, it explores how the massive adoption of information technologies (2020–2024) and the rise of genome editing have redefined the right to privacy and human autonomy. The hypothesis argues that developing an effective Human Firewall, combining digital and bioethical literacy, can mitigate the adverse effects of technological and genetic innovation on privacy without obstructing progress. The study concludes that safeguarding human dignity in the age of artificial intelligence and biotechnology requires robust legal frameworks, ethical governance, and active participation by individuals, institutions, and technology developers to harmonize technological advancement with the protection of fundamental rights.
