Currently, the concept of the rule of law, like the entire legal structure, is facing new challenges. Two of these challenges are the globalization and the digitalization. The globalization implies a very close interaction of different legal and state constructions, including different practices of the rule of law. The forms of globalization include the unification of procedures and increasing the role of the judicial power, legal transplant or legal acculturation, and the internationalization of international law. With reference to digitization, there is a very pronounced trend on the conceptualization of the digital state or digital order. The digital reality, the virtual space and the artificial intelligence pose sufficient risks to fundamental human rights and freedoms. Both globalization and digitalization imply important adjustments of the mechanisms of the rule of law in order to guarantee the human rights in the new conditions of social reality.
