The proposed taxonomy was built around the following ethical principles: Privacy, Property, Equality, Transparency and Freedom. In this article, the authors would like to: 1) examine whether and how this taxonomy stood the test of time, in light of the recent developments in the legal framework and popularisation of Large Language Models (LLMs); 2) provide some details and a tentative checklist on how the taxonomy can be applied in practice; and 3) develop the taxonomy by adding new principles (Accountability; Risk Anticipation and Limitation; Reliability and Limited Confidence), to address the technological developments in LLMs and the upcoming Artificial Intelligence Act.",
