What is Digital Ethics? –
Digital ethics refers to the responsible and ethical use of technology, particularly as it relates to the collection, use, and distribution of digital data. It involves the consideration of ethical principles and values such as privacy, security, transparency, accountability, fairness, and social responsibility in the development, design, and deployment of digital technologies.
Digital ethics also involves addressing the ethical dilemmas and challenges that arise from the use of digital technologies, such as the impact of artificial intelligence on jobs and society, the use of personal data for targeted advertising, the potential for data breaches and cyberattacks, and the ethical implications of the use of emerging technologies such as biometrics and facial recognition.
Overall, digital ethics seeks to ensure that technology is used in ways that benefit society and individuals while minimizing the potential harm and risks associated with its use.
