Abstract

This chapter is dedicated to the wide-ranging ethical implications of Big Data technology in a Digital Society. Exponential growth in the commercial use of the Internet has dramatically increased the volume and scope of data gathered and analyzed by datacentric business organizations. Big Data emerged as a term to summarize both the technical and commercial aspects of this growing data collection and analysis processes. Until now, much discussion of Big Data is focused on its transformational potential for technological innovation and efficiency; however, less attention was given to its ethical implications beyond the generation of commercial value. In this chapter, the authors investigate the wide-ranging ethical implications of Big Data technology. The authors inform that strategies behind Big Data technology require organizational systems, or business ecosystems, that leave them vulnerable to accidents associated with its commercial value and known as data accidents. These data accidents have distinct features and raise important concerns, including about data privacy in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this chapter, the authors suggest methods of successful risk mitigation strategies.
