| 0:00.0 | The tech world is at a bit of a crossroads. You see, on one side, we have tech doing amazing, |
| 0:09.7 | exciting, even life-changing things like connecting us with loved ones from across the globe, |
| 0:14.6 | predicting life-threatening illnesses before doctors, creating rockets that can land themselves, |
| 0:19.8 | cars that can drive themselves. The list goes |
| 0:22.8 | on. But on the other side, we've seen tech negatively impact societies. Influence governments |
| 0:30.4 | wrongly discriminate against people and every year more innovations appear. They get bigger, |
| 0:36.5 | they get better and more impactful, both for good |
| 0:39.9 | and for bad. Digital ethics to me is about thinking about what we do with technology and the moral |
| 0:51.5 | outcomes. You know, for example, there are lots of artificial intelligence use |
| 0:57.2 | cases, but just because we can, should we? That voice is Dave Strong. My name is Dave Strong. I'm |
| 1:05.9 | the pre-sales director for hybrid IT here at HPE. |
| 1:16.4 | Along with Dave and today's guests, we're exploring digital ethics, the tech topic at the center of everything we do as organizations. That asks, whose responsibility is it to protect |
| 1:22.7 | users from the negative consequences of tech? Where can organisations turn to for guidance in this brave |
| 1:29.2 | new data-driven world? And how on earth can we mitigate risks for technologies that haven't |
| 1:35.2 | even been invented yet? All that and loads more. I'm Michael Bird, and this is Technology Untangled. |
| 1:55.4 | Digital ethics is a field of study that looks at how technology is shaping and will shape our political, social and moral existence. |
| 2:00.6 | Over the last three years, we've seen a real explosion in, political, social and moral existence. |
| 2:00.9 | Over the last three years, we've seen a real explosion in emerging technologies, such as |
| 2:08.1 | artificial intelligence and the amount of data that's out there and what we're doing with |
| 2:13.4 | data to bring insight. |
| 2:15.8 | Now, normally on Technology Untangled, we'd kick off with a little bit of history. |
| 2:21.8 | But the story of ethics is, at its core, the story of innovation itself, from the internet, |
