Art ethics in digital art is very important because the accessibility and impact of content produced in digital environments is increasing. As digital artworks are accessible worldwide via the internet, it is important to pay attention to cultural sensitivity and diversity. While artists are inspired by different cultures and societies, they should respect and accurately represent these cultures. Stereotypes should be avoided and diversity should be encouraged.
Respecting copyright in digital art is important to protect the labor and rights of other artists. If another work of art is to be quoted, permission must be obtained and sources must be correctly cited. Copyright infringement can be penalized by legal regulations made to protect the creativity and rights of artists. Originality in digital art enables artists to develop a unique voice and style. It is natural to be inspired by another work, but an original and creative approach should be adopted in this inspiration process. Since plagiarism is an attempt to copy or imitate another artist's work, digital artists should avoid such behavior. Digital artworks often appeal to a wide audience and therefore it is important to protect the privacy of the audience. When collecting personal data of viewers, the privacy and security of this data should be meticulously handled. It may be unethical to share or misuse personal information without the consent of the audience. Digital artists should be responsible for ensuring that the content they produce makes a positive contribution to society and influences people in a positive way. Harmful or discriminatory content should be avoided and social values should be respected. Works of art can be used as a tool for social change and transformation, and therefore artists should consider their social responsibilities. Being transparent and communicating about digital artworks enables artists to reassure audiences. Artists should provide clear information about how their works are produced, for what purpose, and on what values they are based, and they should interact with the audience. Transparency helps to strengthen the artist-viewer relationship and create an ethical working environment.
