  • AI governance ethics : artificial intelligence with shared values and rules

    Stückelberger, Christoph; Rocamora, María Merchán; DUGGAL, PAVAN; Singh, Divya (Globethics Publications, 2024-10-08)

The search for AI governance from voluntary standards to international convention and standards is fast and urgent. This book unites contributions of authors from all continents. It also offers a representative collection of official recommendations and guidelines on AI governance from national governments, continental entities like EU and AU to UN-organisations.
  • Global Survey of Business Ethics 2022-2024 : teaching, research and training. Vol. 3, Europe

    Robinson, Bryan; Enderle, Georges (Globethics PublicationsInternational Society of Business, Economics, and Ethics (ISBEE), 2024-09-18)
    The Global Survey of Business Ethics 2022-2024 (GSBE) incorporates the full 36 country or regional reports that were collated over three years of investigation by 94 reporters. The sheer volume of content required the publication of three volumes. This third volume is collated as follows: Volume 3: Short introduction to the Global Survey of Business Ethics 2022-2024 and the European country reports. Compared to Africa and Asia (presented in volume 1 and 2), Europe is a relatively small and homogenous continent. But their submitted reports may surprise by their huge variety. They are written in English, the “lingua franca” of business while many of them were carried out in the respective languages, e.g., in Spanish, Italian, German, Estonian and Hungarian. The differences range from business ethics activities being closely guided by international standards such as the PRME (“Principles for Responsible Management Education”) in Ireland and recent Directives of the European Union in Denmark to priorities of struggling with “non-financial disclosure and accounting” in Italy and to “post-war reconstruction” and “moral leadership of the business elite” in Ukraine. It is obvious that the socio-political and cultural context of the country (i.e., the systemic or macro-conditions) shape to a large extent the decision-making and acting of business enterprises and educational organizations as well as individuals at the meso- and micro-levels, respectively. The European reports are presented in this volume and include Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany-Austria-Switzerland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, and Ukraine.
  • Global Survey of Business Ethics 2022-2024 : teaching, research and training. Vol. 2, Asia, Australia, Russia and America

    Robinson, Bryan; Enderle, Georges (Globethics PublicationsInternational Society of Business, Economics, and Ethics (ISBEE), 2024-08-29)
    The Global Survey of Business Ethics 2022-2024 (GSBE) incorporates the full 36 country or regional reports that were collated over three years of investigation by 94 reporters. The sheer volume of content required the publication of three volumes. This second volume is collated as follows: Volume 2: Short introduction to the Global Survey of Business Ethics 2022-2024 and the reports from Asia, Australia, Russia, South and North America. While volume 1 and volume 3 present the country reports from one continent, that is, from Africa and Europe, respectively, in contrast, this volume 2 contains 13 reports from five continents and includes seven from the ten most populous countries on Earth (Worldometers 2024): India (1,428,627,663), China (1,425,671,352), United States 339,996,563), Indonesia(277,534,122), Brazil (216,422,446), Russia (144,444,359) and Mexico (128,455,567). Adding the most populous country in volume 1, that is, Nigeria with 223,804,632 people, the GSBE book includes a total of 4,184,976,704 people or ca. 52% of the world population (8,118,835,999). Given this enormous population, the reports in this volume can only provide some tiny, but not insignificant insights of the huge diversity of challenges and opportunities in the field of business ethics. The reports are presented in this volume and include Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, Indonesia, Philippines, India, Australia, Russia, Latin America, Brazil, United States, and Mexico.

  • How to build digital trust? : Swiss Digital Trust Whitepaper

    Zahn, Nicolas; Paeffgen, Niniane (Globethics Publications, 2023)

As a result, the Swiss Digital Initiative (SDI) was launched at the World Economic Forum in Davos in 2020. It is supported by over two dozen high-ranking personalities and institutions from academic, private and pub-lic sector. In 2021, the Swiss “Digital Trust Label” was launched.
