"This paper focuses on aspect in a comprehensive approach to promoting the responsible, ethical use of technology, organization design to ensure that the people are creating, deploying and using technology are motivated and equipped to make ethical choices. While certain foundational ethical risks can be mitigated through the establishment of clear operational rules, many others require the capacity for ethical judgement and organizational factors that support translating that judgement into action. As technology is increasingly incorporated into the daily operations of companies across sectors, leaders must prepare their people to be aware of the ethical risks posed by emerging tools, equip them to make ethical choices even in situations in which information is imperfect or ambiguous, and motivate them to act upon that judgement in ways that advance prosocial goals." -edited from the paper's forward.
