In an era of rapid technological acceleration, "deceleration" emerges as a key ethical direction. Movements like degrowth and slow tech advocate selective slowdowns—prioritizing convivial, sustainable, and human-centered innovations over unchecked growth. This counters environmental harm, ethical risks (e.g., AI biases, privacy erosion), and social inequalities, fostering reflection, equity, and planetary well-being. While not universal, deceleration aligns with responsible innovation for a balanced future.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrowth
