Recent advances in the capability of digital information technologies—particularly due to advances in artificial intelligence—have invigorated the debate on the ethical issues surrounding their use.

This imbalance carries the risk that digital technologies produce ethical harms and lack social acceptance when the values designed into these technologies collide with those of the communities in which they are delivered and adopted.
