Digital Ethics in Business Practice: Operationalizing a Principle-Based Ethics Framework
summary
Merck establishes a Digital Ethics Advisory Panel (DEAP) in 2021 and a board‑approved Code of Digital Ethics (CoDE) of five core principles, then embeds them into governance via a principle‑at‑risk analysis that produces reports for deliberation. For a Centropy/Palantir patient‑data collaboration the panel requires partner consent checks and proactive patient engagement. A rule‑based, automated in‑process scoring tool screens 700+ use cases in project management, flags potential conflicts (not a hard go/no‑go), recommends self‑assessments and mitigation, and now collects performance data to iterate the system.
