As digital technologies shape every aspect of today's society, ethical considerations have never been more pressing. In A Companion to Digital Ethics, editors Luciano Floridi and Mariarosaria Taddeo bring together leading experts to analyse key ethical challenges posed by artificial intelligence, privacy, cybersecurity, cyberwarfare, sustainability, digital consent, and many other topics. With a multidisciplinary approach, this authoritative volume introduces all the relevant topics in digital ethics clearly and accessibly, integrating insights from philosophy, law, computer science, and the social sciences.
