Digital systems increasingly determine access, opportunity, and autonomy at scale. These outcomes are shaped not by occasional decisions, but by defaults - the built-in behaviors that operate automatically, invisibly, and continuously. When dignity, inclusion, identity, trust, and agency are treated as optional or advisory, they do not survive scale. “DIITA by Default” asserts a clear position: safeguarding human values must be a baseline condition of digital systems, not an afterthought.
