From the beginning (established in 1977) of IFIP Working Group 9.2: Social Accountability and Computing (WG 9.2), the aim has been involving people from different backgrounds to work toward a better world by endorsing the responsible and ethical use of computers and information technologies. Computers and other digital technologies have raised different topics during the history of the working group. Society has been facing all the time a growing amount of problematic issues that computers brought to us. Our digitalized society is such that social accountability seems to remain an important approach – or even more important – when we are facing topics such as data economy, artificial intelligence, and sustainability of technology.
