Verso uno sviluppo tecnologicamente sostenibile.Strategie per un uso etico delle piattaforme digitali com-patibile con gli SDGs

Abstract

The use of digital platforms according to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has played a dual role. Firstly as a communication tool. Digital platforms are considered stra-tegic both for diffusion, both for community building, in a perspective stakeholder's advo-cacy. Second digital platforms have played the role of big data tool: a key element of Agenda 2030 instrument is the opportunities of big data used to achieve the intended objec-tives. Wanting to re-read the application fields of the use of digital platforms compatible with the Agenda 2030 we can identify three functions: communication, infrastructure, envi-ronment. These are three strategic elements that have a central role in the successful achievement of SDGs, but we have to wonder about the context of values within which the strategies take shape. Classic issues of digital platforms such as data ownership, confiden-tiality and privacy, access would risk weakening the role of the digital platform. An ethical look is needed to consciously use digital platforms. The purpose of the essay is to question whether the potential that digital platforms put at disposal of Agenda 2030, both of which system of values of use of digital technology strategies should be incorporated.
