I love the idea of embedding ethics, but I'm not sure that it should be C-level nor that it should be "just" ethics. In my experience, you want a team that can really build trust in the trenches with every team in the company. That's more powerful than top-down.

And for the scope of that team, I think it should be more broadly all the long-term/global topics that are important to the flourishing of the whole company but will never be the OKR priority of any given department. So ethics, privacy, accessibility, etc.

Of course, what I'm describing is basically how I approached the problem at The Times and what I would like to build out my team to be (definitely not there yet). So, as biases go, I think we can say I'm pretty biased 😋
