CAMBRIDGE, U.K. - Feb. 16, 2023 - PRLog -- The Metavethics Institute launches to establish ethical policies for the metaverse and digital environments. The institute is a community-driven not-for-profit think tank based in Cambridge, United Kingdom, comprising academic experts and professional advisors worldwide.

The Institute's vision is to enable sustainable, ethical, and inclusive efforts for technology companies by delivering thought leadership and independent research services to help organizations explore and navigate ambiguous challenges, advocating for the development of policies, laws, and standards to design safe, secure, and inclusive digital, virtual environments.

"With digital, virtual environments, and the metaverse, we are experiencing the immersive technology renaissance," said Dr. Matteo Zallio, Founder and Chief Metavethics Architect. "With the exponential growth of technology, applications, and opportunities that they bring to the consumer market, there is a huge opportunity for the architects and designers of the metaverse to make it truly safe, inclusive, and accessible from the ground up.

Georgina Wellman, Metavethics Engagement Officer, added, "We have a chance to learn from the past and reduce potential mistakes and pitfalls we might make. Let's start now to build ethical, safe, inclusive virtual environments that are truly designed for people, by people, and with people."

After more than a year of research and establishing the field of Metavethics, the Metavethics Institute aims to bring a human-centred approach to solving the biggest challenges facing thousands of technology companies developing digital, virtual, and immersive Metaverse environments.
