Questions of Ethics in Software DevelopmentJane Prusakova
Software has a lot of power to influence people’s lives and to encourage social change. With great power comes great responsibility. It is up to individuals involved in building software to decide what is right, ethical and moral, and these are not easy decisions.
This presentation considers the Code of Conduct adopted by Association for Computing Machinery, and of raises a number of ethical questions related to the fields of IT and software development. We will discuss real-world cases of software producers facing ethical dilemmas, and how these dilemmas can be approached.
The topics include considerations of privacy and information sharing, failing to deliver a service, security vulnerabilities and bugs, and building software that encourages evil behavior.

Do you have ethics? Scientists defined ethics as the social behavior and moral as natural personal behavior. Ethics have been developed years B.C. where every civilization put its own ethics and rules. Religion as well was the main element in enhancing and developing the human social behavior. The main challenge for the applied ethics comes with the controversial moral issues, which faces the conflict of interest between the plaintiff, person-in-duty and defendant, to each other or to the society. Ethics and morals affect the human behavior, where a need to understand what is it, and which level one stands at becomes a necessity, not only for personal development but also for the society peaceful development.
Vulnerabilities and their Surrounding Ethical Questions: A Code of Ethics for...a001
Zero-day vulnerabilities — weaknesses in software or hardware that are unknown to the parties who can mitigate their specific negative effects — are gaining a prominent role in the modern-day intelligence, national-security, and law-enforcement operations.
At the same time, the lack of transparency and accountability in their trade and adoption, their possible overexploitation or abuse, the latent conflict of interests by entities handling them, and their potential double effect may pose societal risks or lead to the breach of human rights.
If left unaddressed, these usage-related challenges call into question the legitimacy of zero-day vulnerabilities as enablers of national security and law enforcement operations and erode the benefits that their proportionate use have for the judiciary, defence, and intelligence purposes.
This work explores what the private sector involved in the trade of zero-day vulnerabilities can do to ensure the respect human rights and the benign and societally beneficial use of those capabilities. After reviewing what can go wrong in the acquisition of zero-day vulnerabilities, this work contributes the first code of ethics focused on the trade of vulnerability information, where the author sets forth six principles and eight corresponding ethical standards aimed respectively at guiding and regulating the conduct of this business.

Spring 2018
(from course syllabus)
100 points – Code of Ethics Project
A summary description of five cases in computer ethics that violate five different parts of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) code of ethics, picking out the appropriate, relevant parts of the code and applying them to the cases of ethics violations. More details TBA.
This final project is intended to have your apply the code to five ethical issues we have considered this semester. Students are to articulate five distinct, separate issues in three “Parts”: articulate the “Ethical Issue,” relevant pats of the code, and “Applying the Code” to the issue, where a resolution grounded in the code is made. Each of the five examples should first describe the issue, then list the relevant parts of the code, and finally concluding how one should respond, applying the code to the issue. This process should have students cut and paste relevant parts of the entire code.
Example: Volkswagen Software Developers and Beating the Emissions Test:
Part 1: Ethical Issue: Software developer for VW and are asked to sign off on software designed to detect and pass emissions testing
Part 2: Relevant Parts of the Code1.1 Contribute to society and human well-being.
“An essential aim of computing professionals is to minimize negative consequences of computing systems, including threats to health and safety.”
“When designing or implementing systems, computing professionals must attempt to ensure that the products of their efforts will be used in socially responsible ways, will meet social needs, and will avoid harmful effects to health and welfare.”
“In addition to a safe social environment, human well-being includes a safe natural environment. Therefore, computing professionals who design and develop systems must be alert to, and make others aware of, any potential damage to the local or global environment.”
1.2 Avoid harm to others.
"Harm" means injury or negative consequences, such as undesirable loss of information, loss of property, property damage, or unwanted environmental impacts.
1.3 Be honest and trustworthy.
2.3 Know and respect existing laws pertaining to professional work.
ACM members must obey existing local, state, province, national, and international laws unless there is a compelling ethical basis not to do so.
Part 3: Applying Code to the Issue
The ACM code would condemn the actions of the VW software developer, as this software designed to avoid emissions tests. The resulting software violates 1.1 (doesn’t contribute to society and well-being, is not socially responsible, and against a safe natural environment. It violates 1.2 as it has unwanted environmental impacts, violates 2.3 as it violates emissions laws.
Grading will be based on comprehensiveness, choosing controversial ethical issues, citing most relevant parts of the code to the issue involved in a concise manner. Answers are due posted to ...

1. Emergence of Software Engineering
In the software industry, we have seen the complexity of computer-based systems increase dramatically over the past decades along with advances in technology. This new technology has increased the demand for computer-based systems to control many infrastructures with software. As a result, designing and building cost-effective, reliable, and high-quality software has become the focus of software engineering in the computer industry.
In the past the processes used for designing and developing software were very informal, which contributed to the rise in development and maintenance costs. The results of ad hoc development processes contributed to a higher percentage of unreliable and lesser quality products entering the marketplace. Many accidents resulted from failures in computer-based systems with hardware devices that were controlled with software. At the time, the industry was considered to be in a crisis state, which then led to the emergence of new practices and methods in software engineering.
Technological advances have had a big impact on the complexity level required in software systems. The emergence of new communication protocols, hardware devices, and graphical user interface components have placed a greater demand on software engineers to design quality, reliable, and safe software.
A Brief History of Software Engineering
In the 1950s and the early 1960s, the various engineering disciplines were beginning to analyze how aspects of the engineering field could be applied to methods used in developing software products. As computing power evolved over the decades, the demand increased along with the complexity of the problems that needed to be addressed in the design of software. The term software engineering was introduced in 1968 at the first international software engineering conference, held by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Science Committee (Mahoney 2004). Many practitioners believe this is the milestone that marked the emergence of the software engineering discipline.
Software was developed to control critical hardware devices in the mid- to late-1960s and early 1970s. During this time, cases emerged that involved operational errors and accidents resulting in the loss of human lives and damage to property. Defects in software were uncovered, which heightened public awareness to the need for better quality and reliability of software. The escalating cost of building quality and reliable software was on the rise in the computer industry and the demand for skilled programmers could not be met. The state of software development was viewed by practitioners as being in a "crisis" state and was commonly referred to as the software crisis.
In response to the software crisis, researchers and practitioners have been trying to develop a set of methodologies, processes, and tools as the "silver bullet" for building software. The combination of these methodologies, processes, and tools i ...

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
