What are important ethical principles that should be implemented to protect users in the metaverse and other digital spaces? Jamaican social enterprise, Youth Can Do IT (YCDI), in collaboration with Jesus College (Oxford), developed some ethical guidelines for the metaverse.

In this episode, we chat with members of YCDI Joel Lawson, one of the youths who participated in the ethical guidelines design process, Cherika Wilson, the Head of People Operations, and Christopher Derrell, the Chief Technology Officer, on the metaverse and the guidelines that have been proposed. Key areas our discussion covered include:

* some of the ethical concerns surrounding the metaverse;

* how Project Amplify, the collaboration between Youth Can Do IT and Jesus College (Oxford), came about;

* the main findings of the research; and

* the next steps now that the guidelines have been proposed.
