LIBA International Webinar Series 2021/ 6
The International Relations of LIBA facilitates international partnership and provides great international learning opportunities to students. In line with this goal the 6th International Webinar Series 2022 was organized on 24th March 2022 by Dr. Sandhya Sastry, Faculty Academic Director for the Strategic Partnerships University of the West of England, United Kingdom. Dr. Sandhya spoke on the topic “Ethics of Technology Innovation”. She said that technology innovation speaks about ethics in two contexts. Firstly, whether the pace of technological innovation is benefiting humankind or not, and secondly, whether technology empowers some people while creating obstacles or challenges for others. She also explained that companies that occupy only a small space in an ecosystem risk losing sight of the big picture and often, these disrupters focus solely on consumer demand without regard for any long–term negative consequences on society. The session was well received and concluded with an interactive question and answer session.
