Summary

Introduction

Global ethical issues concern humankind as a whole and each member of the human species irrespective of her or his position, functions, and origin. Prominent issues of this sort include the fight against pandemics and climate crisis, the zero hunger challenge, the preservation of international peace and stability, and the protection of democracy and citizen participation in political decision-making. Failures to use effective AI technologies to fight pandemics and world hunger may qualify as morally significant omissions Along with these omissions, another source of moral fault may emerge from the ethically ambivalent roles that AI is actively assuming in the context of other global challenges. Universal human values and needs that are prized by digital humanism play a crucial role in the governance of such AI ambivalence
