With the evolution of digital technologies has come a paradigm shift in almost all aspects of our daily lives; this evolution raises ethical questions and complex dilemmas for societies to grapple with.
Are technologies shaping our values? Can data protection rules and laws alone regulate new technological developments such as robotics or AI?
It is time to explore the horizon beyond compliance with data protection principles, to wider ethical considerations.
The aim of this public consultation is to involve you in the discussion. All sections of society from associations and NGOs to trade organisations, public authorities or think tanks (among others) – you are all invited to contribute to this consultation to inform the debate on digital ethics.
Even if your reflections are in their infancy, you are invited to participate in the consultation and reply to questions 1 to 9. If you are more advanced, you can go through questions 1 to 11.
You are all invited to respond to questions 14 – 17, which relate to the reflections of the Ethics Advisory Group (EAG) on digital ethics (see below background information on the EDPS initiative on Digital Ethics).
