European project VIRT-EU has developed a tool (Bear & Co) to help companies improve ethical considerations in relation to IoT devices and data security. Bear & Co places participants from the European IoT developer community into a virtual world, in which they become "employees" of a fictitious IoT start-up. Participants are asked to identify their core values, which are then tested in various scenarios. VIRT-EU found that stated values often did not match the participant’s subsequent business decisions.
