Within the GTA itself, philosophical divides begin to form. Some members of the Guardians argue for expanding Vigil's applications further into public welfare, such as health tracking and resource management, believing this will increase Vigil's positive impact. Others, however, worry that such applications blur the lines of ethical oversight, straying into areas of personal privacy.
Nyla, Zane, and Yara debate the issue with the Guardians, who present both the potential benefits and the ethical risks. Ultimately, they agree that any expansion should prioritize opt-in consent and community-driven decisions, ensuring that new applications align with Vigil's core values.
The GTA introduces pilot programs with strict consent guidelines, allowing communities to choose the level of Vigil integration they want. This compromise respects both Vigil's ethical boundaries and the wishes of communities who wish to leverage its potential responsibly.
