In this episode 

In our daily lives, our behaviors are guided by norms as well as by ethics, through sets of principles that define what is acceptable or unacceptable, besides the purely legal perspective. Deviating from these codes implies consequences. But what about the digital world? Individuals and companies may not necessarily set out to engage in deliberate unethical behaviors or outcomes. Rather, we observe that, when it comes to ethics, processes in the digital world may contribute to unethical behaviors. Does tech reproduce or even exacerbate discrimination and inequality? How can digital ethics help shaping the online world, giving guidance about what actions are the right thing do to? This is what we want to explore with our guest Andreea Gorbatai, associate professor at Vlerick Business School, teacher and researcher about the impact of technology on entrepreneurship.
