● Societal issues of current and emerging ICTs on labour market: Unemployment, deskilling, substitution, algorithmic biases and discrimination, etc.
● Responsible use of ICTs: Ethical ICT governance, ethical guidelines for ICT application, societal concerns in ICT planning and governance, etc.
● (Un)ethical uses of ICTs and the data they generate in elections, organisations, marketing, etc.
