Coles Compassionate Digital Innovation: Navigating the Ethical Dilemmas of Sociotechnical Change at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

Compassionate Digital Innovation examines the ethical tensions at the heart of the digital innovations that shape contemporary life, from artificial intelligence and blockchain to social media platforms. Rather than treating harm as an accidental by-product of progress, the book argues that recurring dilemmas are embedded in the structural logics of digital infrastructures. Through a pluralistic conceptual framework, it shows how amplification, personalisation, persistence, automation, and simulation generate predictable tensions at scale. Drawing on moral philosophy and empirical research, the book proposes compassion as a constitutional orientation for navigating these tensions. Compassion is framed not as sentimentality, but as a disciplined commitment to reduce avoidable suffering and redistribute responsibility in proportion to power. Across social media, Web3 governance, and AI companionship, readers encounter concrete analyses of both promise and peril. The book moves beyond appeals to "personal responsibility" to envision organised compassion through resistance to extractive models, regulatory reform, and the construction of public-interest alternatives. For managers, technologists, policymakers, researchers, students, and engaged citizens, this book offers a rigorous yet accessible framework for redesigning digital innovation in service of dignity, justice, and the common good.
