Digitalization, including robotics and artificial intelligence, is not just about using newer tools and doing so as wisely and prudently as possible. Digitalization in care is establishing a new paradigm for the basic practice of caring for people, which raises the fundamental ethical question "How do we want to live?" - and must be answered convincingly.
