Abstract(s)

This paper discusses the evolution of cyber ethics steered by blockchain technology (BT), artificial intelligence (AI), and, perhaps, Worldcoin, which is an ambitious global project to build a decentralized "proof-of-personhood" encrypted in an anonymous "World ID" for each human being. To investigate the digital conundrum and evaluate the ethical implications of BT, Explainable AI (XAI), and Worldcoin, the "Cyberethics-Mix" framework will be a compass oriented to four cardinal points of ethics in cyberspace: Privacy (data protection), Property (data ownership), Precision (data accuracy), and Pervasiveness (data access). The paper's main conclusion is the ethical desirability of an inclusive and decentralized policy in cyberspace.
