In what way are virtual worlds, ai & global platforms developed? How to shape our digital future?

AI is on the verge of disrupting business as usual in many industries. In particular tech evolution provides digital designers with abundant opportunities to create impactful products. However, tech is not innocent: it harbors discriminatory algorithms, data privacy risks, etc. What dilemmas emerged? Whose responsibility is its ethical development?
