Moral Leadership in a Digital Age
Ethical leadership of new technologies starts from an understanding that technology design is not value-neutral. We need clear methodologies that translate our values into design in transparent and accountable ways. Responsible innovation depends on a diverse group of stakeholders representing different value perspectives and mechanisms that turn responsibility into an actionable value understood in a larger, systemic context.
