Introduction

A NECESSARY RESPONSE TO THE SUSTAINABILITY OF PROFIT THAT DOESN'T COME AT THE EXPENSE OF HUMAN AGENCY.

It is difficult to pinpoint when the trend started. It may be linked to global concern about climate change — a problem too existential to handle by any single person, company, or even nation-state. Or maybe, well-publicized incidents of racial injustice may have accelerated a sense of a power and accountability imbalance. Or could it berelated to a growing unease about the impact of pervasive technology on our individual and collective well-being played its part. Whatever the root cause, source, or spark, there is no doubting the gathering demand for accountability, oversight, and governance of all institutionsand entities who have any kind of domain over our lives The Goal is worthy — to protect humans and human agency. However, the “soft” terms being applied, such as well-being, ethics and good social order, present new challenges for adherence, compliance, and enforcement.
