D1.1 Case studies

The SHERPA consortium looked at ten case studies that would give a broad overview of the many<br>ethical issues faced in current use and implementation of smart information systems (artificial<br>intelligence and Big Data). Smart information systems (SIS) offer businesses, governments,<br>customers, and society as a whole, great potential and opportunity to increase profits, automate<br>tedious jobs, improve services, and create advancements in knowledge and innovation. However,<br>there are also many potential issues and concerns raised with emerging technologies. SIS are having<br>a profound ability to shape and change the way we interact with the world and it is important to<br>identify ethical issues being faced in different social domains.<br>
