The purpose of this contribution is to develop an exploratory framework to analyse the ethical implications of the adoption of emerging digital technologies (EDT) by society. We posit that the exponential growth and dynamics of change of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data and the Internet of Things, among others, are of such magnitude and depth that many of the phenomena generated in the process of adopting these technologies have not been studied with sufficient breadth, scrutiny and critical analysis, particularly in the contexts of emerging economies. In order to develop the proposed framework, we draw on the principles of complex systems to analyse the interactions of relevant agents of the digital ecosystem under study. Our exploration identified a set of strongly related implications circumscribed to education, ethical and moral development, and regulation. It is suggested that the proposed framework may provide an initial platform for formal discussions and conversations towards understanding and applying EDT in a balanced and ethical manner.
Esta investigación contribuye al análisis de los Sistemas Locales de Producción (SLP) particularmente en las industrias culturales y creativas en el estado de Baja California, México. Como trabajo pionero ofrece una aproximación al estudio del empleo y su distribución en el territorio, identificando mediante técnicas de análisis regional la distribución del personal ocupado en estas industrias. Con datos del Censo Económico 2014 del INEGI se analizó el empleo en los cinco municipios de la entidad. La variable utilizada fue personal ocupado total y se estimaron cocientes y coeficientes de localización, especialización y concentración territorial. Los resultados muestran una dispersión del empleo en las industrias culturales y creativas en el territorio estatal de acuerdo a las características propias de cada municipio.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
