From Tech to Tech Ethics

Sophia Wushanley is a software engineer-turned-philosopher. As a member of the IEEE TechEthics advisory group, she is part of an international group of volunteers overseeing the IEEE TechEthics program in partnership with professional staff. In this session from IEEE HKN TechX, we learn how and why Sophia made the transition from tech to tech ethics.

Panel on Hate Speech

Hate speech on digital platforms occurs in social media, comments on online news articles, dating apps, online gaming, and the metaverse. In fact, it can occur in almost every aspect of our online lives. This panel from the IEEE Tech Forum on Digital Platforms and Societal Harms discusses state of the art efforts to tackle online hate, policy and technology challenges, and the latest on regulation.

Framing Cognitive Machines: A Sociotechnical Taxonomy

This paper proposes a taxonomy for the analysis of socio-economic disruptions caused by technological innovations. A transdisciplinary principled approach is used to build the taxonomy through categorization and characterization of technologies using concepts and definitions originating from cybernetics, occupational science, and economics. Concrete illustrations of concepts and uses are offered, including an Industry 5.0 case study as an application of the taxonomy.

AI Standards: Configuring Systems for Privacy

The goals of this course are to familiarize the software engineer with key elements and concepts that can enhance privacy capabilities and safeguards in the software engineering and development process. Practical techniques are used to help the learner understand how to harness the assessment process to enhance privacy requirements and privacy-related controls. By the end of this course, you will understand how privacy assessments integrate into software engineering and software development models with an emphasis on fundamentals.

AI Standards: Organizational Transparency

In this course, a variety of elements are reviewed that can support or detract from achieving a goal of transparency at an organizational level. Ethical systems cannot be created in isolation of the organizational structures of the people creating them. Therefore, the elements that relate to organizational transparency are at least as important as those within technical systems.

AI Standards: System Design Considerations for Data Privacy

This course focuses on design considerations and how the use of data and the data lifecycle play a fundamental role in privacy design. The goals of the course include exploring how software engineers ensure that privacy engineering requirements are satisfied within the contexts of use, end-user, third-parties, and potential re-purposing of the application or service developed. The course provides practical tips and guides as techniques the software engineer or developer can use to become versant in privacy design.

Code of Ethics: IEEE-CS/ACM Joint Task Force on Software Engineering Ethics and Professional Practices

To ensure, as much as possible, that their efforts will be used for good, software engineers must commit themselves to making software engineering a beneficial and respected profession. In accordance with that commitment, software engineers the following Code of Ethics and Professional Practice contains eight Principles related to the behavior of and decisions made by professional software engineers, including practitioners, educators, managers, supervisors and policy makers, as well as trainees and students of the profession. The Code is not simply for adjudicating the nature of questionable acts; it also has an important educational function. As this Code expresses the consensus of the profession on ethical issues, it is a means to educate both the public and aspiring professionals about the ethical obligations of all software engineers.
