This article explores the emergence of data-driven global citizenship and the rise of data-driven states in the age of artificial intelligence. Building upon two prior publications on personal ethics in human–AI interaction and self-verifying digital identity, the paper proposes a conceptual framework that redefines citizenship beyond geography. The study examines how ethical data practices and accountable digital identities give rise to a new form of global citizenship recognized across algorithmic systems and institutions. It further analyzes the implications of this transformation for migration, governance, and democracy, while addressing key challenges such as digital inequality, privacy, and political resistance. The article argues that the future of democratic governance depends not only on technological infrastructures, but on ethically mature citizens capable of consciously constructing and managing their data-driven identities.
