Digital Responsibility: why we need to rethink our relationship with technology

Digital transformation, algorithms, and artificial intelligence have the potential to improve human processes. However, their irresponsible use also has the power to automate social inequalities. As a result, ethical reflection on digital technologies has become essential. What happens when our governments delegate decisions about public services to software, without evaluating the risks and monitoring their performance? What remains for citizens when their future is "predicted" by complex socio-technical systems? These questions force us to move towards a new culture: one of responsibility. To ensure that technological innovation is accompanied by social innovation and our societies have reliable infrastructures, it is necessary to supervise and evaluate these processes.
