Perspective on the Ethics of AI and Emerging Digital
Technologies</strong>.<span
class="v1apple-converted-space"><strong> </strong></span><strong> </strong>Smart
information systems (SIS) are systems that incorporate
artificial intelligence techniques, in particular
machine learning and big data analytics. These raise
significant hopes, for example to better understand and
cure diseases, but also to revolutionise transport, to
optimise business processes or reduce carbon emissions.
At the same time, they raise many ethical and social
concerns, ranging from worries about biases and
resulting discrimination to the distribution of
socio-economic and political power and their impact on
democracy. </span></em><span

the presentation will suggest that one perspective to
better understand these systems and their social and
ethical consequences is to use the metaphor of an
ecosystem to describe them, a metaphor already widely
used in the policy discourse on AI. The talk will
analyse what the use of the ecosystem metaphor means for
the evaluation of ethical issues of smart information
systems and which conclusions can be drawn from it and
how these can inform recommendations for policymakers
and other stakeholders. </span></em><span
