TY - JOUR AU - Floridi, L. PY - 2018// TI - Soft Ethics, the Governance of the Digital and the General Data Protection Regulation JO - Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society a: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences SP - 20180081 VL - 376 IS - 2133 PB - The Royal Society KW - artificial intelligence KW - AI AB - The article discusses the governance of the digital as the new challenge posed by technological innovation. It then introduces a new distinction between soft ethics, which applies after legal compliance with legislation, such as the General Data Protection Regulation in the European Union, and hard ethics, which precedes and contributes to shape legislation. It concludes by developing an analysis of the role of digital ethics with respect to digital regulation and digital governance.
