Ethical Challenges of Digital Transformation
During the recent past years, disruptive technologies have emerged with huge power and capabilities that are reshaping our lives on all levels. Cutting-edge technologies such as big data analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, 3D printing, blockchain, and cloud services are changing the way we live, work, and communicate. However, with such enabling technologies, come complex challenges, most of them are related to ethics and the responsible use of technology. Endless questions are being raised about issues such as privacy, data security, trust, anonymisation, and ownership. Hence, there is a need to develop an ethical framework that helps the society in safeguarding human rights and ensuring a consistent alignment between technology and values. This comes as even more challenging on the business levels, with the shift towards Digital Transformation that is mainly about smartness and connectivity. The long-running debate on technology vs human can be driven by ethical considerations to minimise the social uncertainty and agitation and enable a smooth digital transformation In this lecture, we will share ideas on technology and the relevant ethical issues and share our thoughts about how we feel about such technologies and how to be ready for this new era.
