The Black Silk

The Black Silk is a not-for-profit organization working towards the ethical development and judicious use of digital technologies for the greater good. The organization leads discussions to address the challenges of the digital world. The organization holds public consultations, discussions and invites one and all to contribute towards inclusive solutions. The Black Silk works with the stakeholders to set ethical threshold for development and use of digital technologies so as to ensure safeguarding of everyone’s interest. Digital technology has many facets and a wide ecosystem. Now it is difficult to think of any human activity without the use of digital technology. The digital ecosystem includes not only the hardware manufacturers or software developers, but the users as well, who at times are the most vulnerable stakeholders. The cause for such vulnerabilities are infinite. Ironically, the sheer volume of information in the digital world or the speed at which it is disseminated can make many stakeholders at risk. The Black Silk works towards addressing such infinite challenges. We bring together the stakeholders to have casual and frank discussions about the existing digital technologies and their implementation and the means to ensure adoption of ethical and safety thresholds. Discovery and use of newer digital technologies every day are opening unlimited opportunities. Our aim is to ensure that such new opportunities are impartially available to everyone, without compromising on the safety and security aspect. We address the community, global, moral, ethical, legal, local, personal, regional aspects of digital technologies in our discussion boards. The organization works with academicians, policy makers, law makers and expert professionals in the sectors relating to technology and brings to the fore the most difficult problems and try to find amenable solutions by inclusive discussion. The Black Silk has global engagements and addresses universal issues.
