Shian-Loong Bernard Lew Thank you for an interesting question. I am always worried about the "blind" rule followers. Zygmunt Bauman explains many challenges with the rule follower.

Maybe the difference is both marginal and irrelevant in many cases.
Since ethics and morals are related to human behavior a manual audit is the only way to ensure compliance to standards and ethics. Machines do not understand nuances and can be misled by programmers to hide questionable ethics scenarios.
