Home Tutorials Bookshop Software ... Subscribe here for our free email newsletter Practical Computer Ethics Privacy, protocols, and data protection issues. Those who have peeped into someone else's database or copied software from a friend's disk know that they've been naughty. They gamble that they're unlikely to be caught. Some people have even cut and pasted other's work and used it as their own. They too thought they wouldn't be noticed. But things are changing. They're starting to be noticed - and prosecuted. The world of electronic data, especially since the Internet explosion, is rife with problems of control, censorship, and intellectual property rights. Langford's slim introduction is an attempt to map out the ethical problems of computer use and present strategies for dealing with them. He starts out by defining the nature of moral philosophy in terms most readers will understand. In fact he goes on about this rather too long. It's chapter 5 before we get to computers - though his illustrative examples all come from the world of everyday keyboard and network use. But in fact many of the problems he identifies are ethical problems which arise from business and management practices rather than from IT itself. Should software developers construct programmes for rogue managers for instance? Would you report your colleagues if they downloaded politically incorrect material in work's time? These are not intrinsically questions of technology [even if they do occur in daily life] and since ethical judgements often rest on making fine distinctions, Langford ought really to be alert to such differences.

Home Articles Computer Ethics: Responsibility Regained Donald Gotterbarn INTRODUCTION In an address to the Computers and Quality of Life Conference[1], Gary Chapman, director of Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility described his perception of the state of work in computer ethics. He said that, over the years he had attended many meetings where computer ethics and social issues were discussed and that he keeps hearing the same thing. He has noticed no progress in the field. I think he is right. An examination of the current state of computer ethics will reveal some causes for this lack of progress and enable us to see some positive directions to take to make some progress in computer ethics. THE PROBLEM The extensive discussion of computer ethics in the past few years has had little consequence. A look at the content of these discussions reveals a primary source of the problem, viz ., an absence of a coherent concept of computer ethics. The types of events that are subsumed under issues in computer ethics are so varied that one does not have a clear concept of computer ethics. Starting from a clouded concept of computer ethics, one cannot derive clear ethical positions. I will show the difficulties with the current concept of computer ethics, and describe some of the difficulties created by this concept. Then I will offer an alternative approach to computer ethics which both avoids the current difficulties and broadens the concept of computer ethics to include both proscriptive and prescriptive judgements.

Research Ethics Resources on the World Wide Web Matt Strother, Teaching Research Ethics Intern April 1999 [Note: The World Wide Web is subject to considerable link rot; many of the links compiled on this site in 1999 are no longer active. We will update the site as time permits and welcome suggestions for repairs or additions. In the meantime, we hope it is still useful as an outline and a conceptual system for resources on the Web. 17 September 2002] One of the newer resources available to a teacher of research ethics is cyberspace. The World Wide Web offers a vast array of ideas and information simply waiting to be discovered. Syllabi, teaching ideas, teaching material, lecture outlines, and many other resources for the budding research ethics program await, but because of sheer volume this array can be dizzying. Therefore, in order to save you the effort of winnowing the wheat from the chaff, I have compiled a list of sites that I believe to be worthwhile. The sites have been roughly grouped, based on their content, into the following categories:

On this page: Wikipedia Mentioned In Or search: - The Web - Images - News - Blogs - Shopping computer ethics Wikipedia computer ethics Computer ethics is a branch of practical philosophy which deals with how computing professionals should make decisions regarding professional and social conduct. Issues The core issues of computer ethics include, but are not limited to: professional responsibility, intellectual property rights privacy , and the impact of technology in society: Issues of privacy relate to the usage of information collected about individuals and stored in databases. The final issue, the impact of technology in society, is perhaps the controlling issue in computer ethics. This issue relates to the consequences of the introduction of technology for society as a whole, as well as the place computers have in society. An issue that now goes hand in hand with ethics today is social responsibility . This is an attempt by organizations to find equilibrium between all their commitments, including investors, employees, customers and competitors alike. Social responsibility is an obligation for managers to serve and protect the investments of the other people involved in the company, not only themselves. Identifying issues Identifying ethical issues as they arise, as well as defining how to deal with them, has traditionally been problematic in computer ethics. Some have argued against the idea of computer ethics as a whole. However, Collins and Miller proposed a method of identifying issues in computer ethics in their Paramedic Ethics model. The model is a data-centered view of judging ethical issues, involving the gathering, analysis, negotiation, and judging of data about the issue.

Professional Ethics and Computer Science/Information Systems Top Introduction Codes of Ethics Organizations ... Books and Journals Introduction If you are looking at this page, you probably have an interest in (or have been told by a professor to have an interest in) computers and ethics. Ethics One definition of ethics, according to Merriam-Webster, is "a set of moral principles or values". You may derive your own personal ethics from many sources: your family and culture, your religion or faith, the legal system where you live, etc. However, ethics in general is not the topic of this web page. Computing Ethics Sometimes you will hear someone refer to "computing ethics", which is a whole range of ethical questions surrounding computer science and the use of computers. This is also not the primary topic of this web page, although it is addressed. If this is your primary interest, you might also want to take a look at Social Responsibility and the CS Student , which appeared in the ACM Crossroads Student Magazine in May 1995. Professional Ethics This web page discusses professional ethics (or professional practice): the "principles of conduct" that we agree to be governed by as computer scientists and engineers.

Computer Ethics Ethics value good bad When computers first began to be used in society at large, the absence of ethical standards about their use and related issues caused some problems. However, as their use became widespread in every facet of our lives, discussions in computer ethics resulted in some kind of a consensus. Today, many of these rules have been formulated as laws, either national or international. Computer crimes and computer fraud are now common terms. There are laws against them, and everyone is responsible for knowing what constitutes computer crime and computer fraud. The Ten Commandments of computer ethics have been defined by the Computer Ethics Institute . Here is our interpretation of them: 1) Thou shalt not use a computer to harm other people: 2) Thou shalt not interfere with other people's computer work: Computer viruses 3) Thou shalt not snoop around in other people's files: encryption 4) Thou shalt not use a computer to steal: Using a computer to break into the accounts of a company or a bank and transferring money should be judged the same way as robbery. It is illegal and there are strict laws against it. 5) Thou shalt not use a computer to bear false witness: The Internet can spread untruth as fast as it can spread truth. Putting out false "information" to the world is bad. For instance, spreading false rumors about a person or false propaganda about historical events is wrong.

99. Computer Hacking And Ethics Paper about developing ethics in teenage hackers. http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~bh/hackers.html

Computer Hacking and Ethics Brian Harvey University of California, Berkeley [A slightly different version of this paper was written for the ``Panel on Hacking'' held by the Association for Computing Machinery in April, 1985. Thanks to Batya Friedman, Donn Parker, and Carter Sanders for their comments on early drafts.] [Neal Patrick] said he and his friends, who named themselves the ``414s'' after the Milwaukee area code, did not intend to do any damage and did not realize they were doing anything unethical or illegal. In fact, when asked [at a Congressional subcommittee hearing] at what point he questioned the ethics of his actions, he answered, ``Once the FBI knocked on the door.'' It's no secret that a mature sense of ethics is something a person develops over time. Parents are supposed to exercise authority over their children because the children are not expected to know how to make certain decisions for themselves. We have a juvenile court system separate from the adult criminal court system because we believe that a young person is not capable of criminal intent in the same sense that an adult is capable of it.
