Abstract
This chapter presents the challenges and risks of digital transformation classified into three axes of analysis, two disciplinary axes and one transversal. The transversal category is a proposal that arises from the Aalborg University (AAU) under the Techno-Anthropology program. The program's approach responds to the need for an interdisciplinary vision of the interaction between humans and technology. Techno-anthropologists are by nature facilitators, mediators, and translators of processes as complex as digital transformation. This chapter serves as a conceptual guide in which it is illustrated with a concrete example of the application of the ethical evaluation model of technology developed by AAU. The model is applied to a hypothetical case of digitization of professional judgment. The model has been found to have a wide range of possible applications in different technological domains.
