Abstract
Emerging technologies have given rise to new concepts, among which the digital human is one of the most significant. In the context of human existence, the digital human introduces new notions such as the digital political human. Like many contemporary concepts formed through the intersection of digital technology and human society, this term remains ambiguous, multidimensional, and open to varying interpretations. As the era of widespread artificial intelligence rapidly approaches, developing at least a foundational understanding of the concept of the digital political human is essential for interpreting the rapidly evolving realities of the near future.This study argues that the SWOT analytical framework—emphasizing Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats—provides an effective approach for conceptualizing and interpreting the emerging notion of the digital political human. The principal finding of this conceptual inquiry is that digital governance is an inevitable consequence of the emergence, continuity, and expansion of the digital political human. Accordingly, digital governance is becoming indispensable for the survival and effective functioning of contemporary governments and states.
