Ethics refer to the rules and morals that govern one's actions and activities. It is important in this age as there are many more means of being unethical, with the rise of the digital age. It helps to foster trust in business dealings, which helps to shorten the process of finding trustworthy partners, which makes doing business more efficient. Ethics are also paramount for various processes to be effective. Since machines and other automated technologies may make mistakes since they operate on past data, and cannot be empathetic.

Design thinking is the process of taking a customer's needs into consideration and coming up with a solution to their problem based on that. It is vital as it is becoming increasingly easier for organisations to provide goods and services, with the platform of digital technology. With such competition, quality content, targeted to each individual will need to be present to be effective, to rise above the quantity.

Empathy and the ability to work as part of a team or establish friendships with co-workers are becoming increasingly important skills that will be asked increasingly of  all workers.

Shouldn’t be afraid to take risks or to fail, innovation and progress are otherwise not possible. we have to create an environment in which we are allowed to fail and make mistakes without repercussions. This encourages us to experiment and to innovate and help the company grow.

Ethics and adaptation
Ethics-wise, machines won’t be able to have feelings like humans do, so there may be things autonomous machines will do that humans will find morally incorrect. An example would be the Terminator franchise.
In time, all humans will adapt to a new age or situation, however, machines aren’t able to adapt as well as humans do and this may be a problem if a situation that hasnt been accounted for occurs
Boom
