Why digital ethics is rising up corporate agendas

However, it's only really in the last year that we have really seen digital ethics hit the mainstream, with organisations in the private and public sector focusing their attention and, increasingly, resources, on these matters. So, what's caused this shift? Many organisations underwent an overnight transformation during the pandemic to survive and at the heart of this was the accelerated adoption of more advanced technologies such as automation and artificial intelligence (AI). Organisations are now taking a more serious look at what being data-driven means for them, developing data strategies that could shift entire business models. Without integrating digital ethics into this acceleration, the ethical risks proliferate.
