> The longevity of the issue is also troubling. Even low-level Fujitsu employees, aware of the system's flaws, remained silent. Despite widespread media coverage and a string of wrongful convictions, leading even to suicides, not a single person within a large team exhibited any kind of moral responsibility or something that looked like a conscience. Their silence, just makes you believe again in conspiracy theories, and raises concerns about the integrity of modern IT systems and AI that we rely on.

Completely agreed. This is why ethics in our profession are important, and yet all too often dismissed.
