Description: The term ‘scandal’ refers to an action or event that is considered morally or legally wrong, generating a negative reaction in public perception. In the context of technology, scandals can arise when technologies are used in ways that violate ethical principles such as privacy, fairness, and transparency. These incidents can lead to distrust in the technology and in the organizations that develop or implement it. The nature of scandal in technology is particularly complex, as it often involves automated decisions that can significantly impact people’s lives. The lack of accountability and opacity in algorithms can contribute to the perception that technology acts unfairly or biased, which in turn can lead to a broader debate about regulation and the ethical use of these technologies. In summary, scandals in technology not only affect the companies involved but also influence public trust in technology and its future development.
