Abstract

Rapid technological innovation in recent decades has brought significant changes to human life. With the great potential that technology holds, ethical questions arise regarding its application and development. Issues such as misuse of personal data, inequality of access, and algorithmic discrimination are challenges that need to be addressed to ensure that technology is used for the common good. This calls for consideration of social fairness, protection of individual rights, and oversight of the unethical application of technology. This article discusses how to ensure that technology is developed with strong ethical principles, as well as how it can avoid misuse and create equitable solutions. An emphasis on transparency, accountability, and clear regulation will ensure that technological innovation maximizes benefits for all without creating inequalities. Collaboration between policymakers, the private sector, and communities is needed to ensure that technology can evolve in an ethical and fair way. This article suggests the importance of clear policies and continuous monitoring of technological applications to avoid misuse and improve social fairness in this digital era.
