Arindrajit Basu moderated a discussion on Cyber-Ethics at Swiss Nex (Consulate General of Switzerland, Bangalore on 28 June 2019. The event was organized by the Embassy of Switzerland.

Cyber-space – the virtual reality – influences all countries in the world and all sectors of society. The cyber-world of e-mails, e-commerce, e-government, e-education, e-music, e-prosecutors, artificial intelligence, crypto-currencies are daily reality, with new opportunities. On the other hand, cyber-bullying, cyber-criminality, cyber-security, cyber-war etc. are great challenges.

Cyber-ethics looks for values-driven innovative solutions to these challenges and opportunities between freedom and privacy, security and peace. Switzerland is a world leader in innovation, India is a world leader in information technologies. How can both countries strengthen ethical, values-driven solutions for the cyber-world? Indian and Swiss Experts present challenges and solutions.
