The 2021 techUK Digital Ethics Summit marks five years since we first brought the digital ethics community together to discuss some of the biggest ethical challenges posed by the dominant role technology plays in our society. On the 8 December 2021, to commemorate the Summit’s fifth anniversary, we will take stock and reflect on the material progress that has been made globally over the past five years; celebrating the achievements, sharing international best practice and examining areas for improvement. The Summit will also be an opportunity to focus on the future, and question ‘What we need to do now to get the next five years right?’
