🎉 FANTASTIC NEWS 🎉
✊ “SWARM ETHICS: A New Collective and Decentralized Ethics in the Digital Age” , a paper by Daniele PROVERBIO and Katja RAUSCH
got #accepted to the International Conference on Computer Ethics: Philosophical Enquiry (#CEPE2023) at the Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, in May 2023.
We are truly OVERJOYED!!! 📯 📯
Yes, we are delighted for several reasons:
1) that #modest #independent research/work is alive & kicking, is recognized, and can proudly compete at the #highest #level with larger, generously funded research centers!
2) that #ethics is far from being insipid, without novelty, endlessly spinning around its algorithmic repetition. YES, modern ethics is #alive, #democratic, and ready to #swarm!
In our submission, we introduce #Swarm #Ethics as a novel concept of #emerging #collective ethics (vs hard-coded traditional ethics) which is both #decentralized and highly #purpose-driven.
It is rapidly #scalable by the use of #technology and #digitization. Swarm Ethics emerges at the crossroads of #behaviorism/ #anthropology, #complex #systems and #technology.
One beautiful freebie – #swarmethics is the kind of #ethics we all need now : #accessible, #useful and #meaningful. PEOPLE are its generators and beneficiaries.
WE ALL #shape it in real-time, #horizontally, create new #patterns, #adopt/adapt to new #behaviors, instead of being tributary to a self-declared #regulatory #elite.
Swarm Ethics is perception-action based, #inclusive, #organic, and #caring. It fluently #flocks and #flows using its #collective (ethical swarm) #intelligence, and thus is fit for Society and Businesses of the 21st Century.
Swarm Ethics is a *#perspectives-generator* not an inhibitor! ( 👉 #agile ethics for people, employees, executives and businesses)

The proposed concept of swarm ethics evolves around three pilars : behavior, collectivity and purpose
Away from cognitive jugdmental-based ethics to a new form of collective ethics driven by purpose.
