The global reach of digital technologies, which enrich people’s lives with efficiency, service and distribution, has shown to have problematic side effects. Some companies have gradually come to understand that behaving ethically is a business-critical necessity. More and more consumers demand that products and services create security and transparency for users. So, if we are to create a better, more fair, responsible and ethical digital world, we need to start with the design decisions that designers, product managers and programmers make every single day.

In this talk hosted during the meetup at KLUB Peter and Christina will discuss ethical dilemmas, what digital design ethics is, and the essence of The Digital Ethics Compass (BETA-version), which has has been launched recently.
