Summary/Abstract: The transformation of the modern economy paradigm towards the knowledge-based economy (KBE) has led to the creation and expansion of new products and services. Simultaneously, the socio-economic shift interdependent on the information processing and knowledge diffusion results in ethical dilemmas. The reflections on the topic of this paper are firstly focused on the SWOT analysis of the socio-economic issues corresponding with the emergence of the KBE. Furthermore, information ethics in macro as well as micro perspectives discussed. Finally, some ethical responsibilities of the KBE’s beneficiaries are considered.
