Abstract

Abstract: Metaverse, a "new species" of technology integration after the breakthrough of digital technology, is an intelligent virtual world parallel to the real world. It is characteristic of intelligent operation logic, social interaction support, unimpeded shuttle technology and digital immortal subject. The emergence of the meta universe deconstructs the relationship between people in the real world, making space infinite, time rebootable, and digital subject changeable, and brings severe ethical risks to human society from three levels:individual, technology and society, which are embodied in human alienation, privacy disclosure, data hegemony, social imbalance and so on. In practice, we can prevent the ethical risks brought by the meta universe and guide the development of meta universe technology to the good by cultivating digital literacy, embedding ethical principles, improving laws and regulations and promoting international cooperation.

Key words: metaverse, ethical risk, risk prevention, digital hegemony, digital technology
