On Tuesday 23 January 2024, the 2nd symposium on “Creating value on the way to the metaverse” took place in Potsdam (hybrid).
In this think tank series, the Metaverse Europe Foundation, in cooperation with Mittelstand-Digital from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection, is asking how digital #ethics can be lived hand in hand with ethical values in companies.
After working out at the first meeting how entrepreneurs need to act in order to score points with innovation in the “#Metaverse” and scale the business in the first place, we focussed on the core topics in round 2:
➡️ Participation and shaping democracy
➡️ Digital identities
➡️ Data sovereignty
Following the keynote speech “Digital ethics in the metaverse – a trusting framework for infinite worlds” by Maike Scholz, Squad Lead Digital Ethics, Deutsche Telekom AG, who gave a good insight into Telekom’s approach, we found an inspired start to the discussion.
Die sehr unterschiedlichen Ergebnisse der zwei Arbeitsgruppen werden im kommenden Symposium mit weiteren Experten geschliffen. As a result, initial guidelines for SMEs are to be developed as a basis for ethical behaviour in an increasingly digital environment.
