Project DescriptionApply decision-making frameworks to IT-rela.docxbriancrawford30935
Project Description
Apply decision-making frameworks to IT-related ethical issues
There are several ethical theories described in Module 1: Ethical Theories. Module 2: Methods of Ethical Decision Making, describes frameworks for ethical analysis. For this paper, use the Reynolds Seven-Step approach to address the following:
· Describe a current IT-related ethical issue; and define a problem statement
· Analyze your problem using a decision-making framework chosen from Module 2.
· Discuss the applicable ethical theory from Module 1 that supports your decision.
· Prepare a minimum 3- 5 page, double-spaced paper.
· Use APA style and format. Provide appropriate American Psychological Association (APA) reference citations for all sources. In addition to critical thinking and analysis skills, your paper should reflect appropriate grammar and spelling, good organization, and proper business-writing style.
Each of Reynolds seven steps must be a major heading in your paper.
Here are some suggested issues-
1. Workplace Issue.
2. Privacy on the Web. What is happening now in terms of privacy on the Web? Think about recent abuses and improvements. Describe and evaluate Web site policies, technical and privacy policy protections, and current proposals for government regulations.

Computer ethics refers to moral principles and guidelines for using computers and the internet. It helps maintain privacy, protect intellectual property, and promote responsible technology use. Some key issues in computing include threats to personal privacy and security from data collection, building trust online, protecting intellectual property, internet addiction's social impacts, and the digital divide exacerbating inequality. Solutions involve strong privacy policies, security updates, copyright laws, promoting well-being, and investing in infrastructure to bridge the digital divide.

5. Definition of Ethics
• Ethics comes from the Greek word ethikos which in its root form (ethos) means
character or custom. For the Greeks it referred to the appropriate or customary
way to behave in society.
• Ethics is a system of moral principles that affect how people make decisions and
lead their lives.
• Ethics is concerned with what is good for individuals, and society and is also
described as moral philosophy.
• Morality comes from the Latin word Moralis and is concerned with which
actions are right and which are wrong, rather than the character of the person.
Today the two terms are often used interchangeably.
12/31/2019 5
6. Theories of Ethics/ Ethical theories
• Utilitarianism
• Egoism
• Deontological theory
12/31/2019 6
7. Utilitarianism
• What makes something good or bad, right or wrong, is that it
produces the greatest amount of pleasure (or lack of pain) for the
greatest number of people.
• Basic Principle:
• Greatest Happiness Principle: Maximizing positive outcomes for the
largest number of people, negative outcomes for lowest number of
people.
• One should chose the action which will lead to the greatest happiness
(i.e. pleasure, lack of pain) overall.
J. Bentham
(1748-1843)
J. S. Mill
(1808-73)
12/31/2019 7
8. Egoism
• What makes something good or bad, right or wrong, is that it satisfies
one’s desires, or meets one’s needs.
• Basic Principle:
• Self-interest of a person doing, considering, or affected by the action.
• One should chose the action which most realizes or conduces to
one’s own self-interest
• According to ethical egoism, however, we have no duties to others; in
fact, each person ought to pursue his or her own selfish interests
exclusively.
12/31/2019 8
Ayn Rand Adam Smith
9. Deontology (Duty-Based)
• The founding father of the Deontological theory is Immanuel Kant.
• An action is right if and only if (iff) it is in accordance with a moral rule or principle.
• A moral agent must act to uphold the moral principles related to an action or
actively-considered inaction.
• Immanuel Kant (1724 – 1804) articulated his model of deontological ethics with the
idea of the Categorical Imperative.
• “Act in such a way that, if you had your way, the principle guiding your actions would
become a universally binding law that everyone must act in accordance with (in
relation to you), applying to everyone, everywhere, and always, without exception”
(2000, p. 49).

10. Definition of Digital Ethics
• Ethics is concerned with what is good for individuals, and society and is also
described as moral philosophy.
• Digital ethics refers to the study of the implication of technology on the social,
political, and moral space of society. Digital ethics deals with how we conduct
ourselves when we use digital media. It is a subfield of applied ethics and
computer science. It regards access to and use of digital technology as a
fundamental human right in the global information society. In a hyperconnected
era, digital technology poses new challenges to standard moral problems.
12/31/2019 10
11. Information Ethics
• A descriptive theory explores the power structures influencing informational attitud
traditions in different cultures and epochs.
• The development of moral values in the formation field,
• The creation of new power structures in the information field,
• Information myths,
• Hidden contradictions and internationalities in information theories and practices.
• The development of ethical conflicts in the information field.
12/31/2019 11
12. Hard Ethics vs Soft Ethics
• What we usually have in mind when discussing values, rights, duties
and responsibilities or more broadly, what is morally right or wrong,
and what ought or ought not to be done.
• Soft ethics cover the same normative grounds as hard ethics, but it
does so by considering what ought and ought not be done over and
above the existing regulation, not against it, despite its scope, or to
change it, or to by-pass it.
12/31/2019 12
13. Examples of cyber ethical lapses
• Inappropriate/ hostile communication.
• Accessing inappropriate or illegal materials.
• Social and media lapses.
• Cyberbullying, cyber harassment, and cyberstalking
• Identity theft/ catfishing.
• Solicitation, sexting, sextortion and sexual assault.
12/31/2019 13
14. Ethical issues of information Collection and classifications
• Censorship means the active exclusion of information based
on religious, political, moral or other grounds.
• Selection concerns the activity of choosing information
according to the objectives of, for instance, an institution.
• The will to exclude bad information is itself an ethical paradox
as far as any exclusion, limiting intellectual freedom, should
be avoided.
• Classification systems, thesauri, search engines and the like
are not neutral.
12/31/2019 14
15. Ethical issues with information production
• Different traditions with regard to technologies and products
have lead to different protection laws in different regions of the
world.
• Digitalizing makes copying and re-making (re-modelling ) easier.
• Internationalization through the internet changes the dimension
and prospective of national legislation and control.
• This new situation gives rise to questions such as: should the
notion of knowledge sharing become predominant with regard to
the notion of ownership.
12/31/2019 15
16. Ethical aspects of information access and dissemination
• Individuals and groups are interested in a free and equal access to
information as well as to free communication.
• The question of access as a societal issue concerns the problem of
creating equal opportunities of access for nations or groups of nations
avoiding the gap between the information rich and the information
poor.
• Ethical conflicts may arise regarding for instance the right to
confidentiality and the one to protect life.
12/31/2019 16
17. Digital Governance
• Digital governance is the practice of establishing and implementing
policies, procedures, and standards for the proper development, use
and management of the infosphere.
• It is also a matter of convention and good coordination, sometimes
neither moral nor immoral, neither legal nor illegal.
• Eg.:Through digital governance, a government agency or a company
may (a) determine and control processes and methods used by data
stewards and data custodians in order to improve the data quality,
reliability, access, security and availability of its services and (b)
devise effective procedures for decision-making and for the
identification of accountabilities with respect to data-related
processes.
12/31/2019 17
18. Digital Regulation
• Not every aspect of digital regulation is a matter of digital governance and
not every aspect of digital governance is a matter of digital regulation. In
this case, a good example is provided by the General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR).
• Compliance is the crucial relation through which digital regulation shapes
digital governance.
12/31/2019 18
19. The relationship between digital ethics, digital regulation and digital governance
12/31/2019 19
20. Digital Ethics and The Issue of Privacy
• Collection of data without the informed consent of the owners, and the irresponsibility
of various IT companies, has significantly jeopardized security and proper practice in
the fast-growing industry.
• InformationTechnology development has played a significant role in the collection and
analysis of big data for better conclusions, but there is a significant concern in regards
to privacy as an ethical concern.
• The inference created by mass data gathering through online interactions is a
significant privacy violation, especially because most of the information owners are not
aware of such activities.
12/31/2019 20
21. • What is more worrying is that there is no clear ethical framework on digital technologies,
which makes it difficult to deal with privacy and security concerns.
• The aggregation data technologies are crucial in the collection of personal data, and there
is a significant question of whether such activities by businesses are acceptable ethically,
because the data is used to make decisions on marketing and production.
• For instance, being associated with a group can result in negative labeling, e.g., belonging
to a group that is known to use drugs or engage in violent activities, which can result in
detrimental profiling of individuals as being dangerous based on the grouping.
Digital Ethics and The Issue of Privacy
12/31/2019 21
23. Artificial Intelligence is the
development of computer systems
able to perform tasks that would
usually require human intelligence,
such as visual perception, speech
recognition, decision-making, and
translation between languages.
12/31/2019 23
24. Digital Ethics and Artificial Intelligence
• There is now a debate on the possible ethical implications and issues
raised by existing and future advanced digital technologies such as
blockchain, biometrics, the Internet ofThings (IoT) and quantum
computing.
• While these technologies are still nascent and developing, as is AI, they
have the potential to bring long-term economic benefits to the whole
world and be a power for social good.
• However, the use of these technologies in these and other scenarios
could raise social and ethical questions around fairness, influence and
accountability which go beyond issues of data protection and privacy.
12/31/2019 24
26. Awareness of Data Management
• It is clear that consumer behavior regarding privacy laws and consent, has
been ignored due to a lack of awareness, and clear regulations to guide the
public into making decisions on the requirements to share information.
• There is a need for more awareness campaigns on the consequences and
remedies for potential risks posed by new InformationTechnology practices,
to protect privacy and improve data management practices
12/31/2019 26
27. Digital Technology Consumer Education
• To develop ethical literacy campaigns that can change the existing situation on data
privacy, by increasing Information education campaigns can be initiated for the public
on information data handling procedures, which will equip the public with data safety
knowledge to help minimize potential data loss.
• A well-executed education campaign can help awareness on the right of the
information owner to give consent before their information can be used.
• Therefore, creating a sustainable education approach is necessary to sustain data
security in society, amidst the growing use of digital information systems.
12/31/2019 27
28. Educational goals
• To be able to recognize and articulate ethical conflicts in the
information field,
• To activate the sense of responsibility with regard to the
consequences of individual and collective interactions in the
information field.
• To improve the qualification for intercultural dialogue on the basis of
the recognition of different kinds of information cultures and values,
• To provide basic knowledge about ethical theories and concepts
and about their relevance in everyday information work.
12/31/2019 28
29. Responsible Innovation
• Responsible Innovation is a transparent, interactive process
through which the societal actors and innovators become
mutually responsive to each other, with a view to the acceptability,
sustainability, and societal desirability of the innovation process
and its marketable products, to allow a proper embedding of
scientific and technological advances in our society
• Responsible Innovation brings into account the accumulation of
relevant knowledge on the options and outcomes, and their
evaluation in terms of moral values, such as safety, security, and
privacy, as critical requirements for the development of a new
form of technology.
12/31/2019 29
30. Mature Information Society
• Information societies are maturing all over the world. More
will appear in the future.
• In terms of expectations, similarities therefore will increase.
To paraphraseTolstoy, all mature information societies are
alike in terms of people’s expectations; each immature
society is immature in its own way.
• Because once people start taking for granted new
technologies or smart artificial agencies, for example, it
does not really matter how much these technologies
change, maturity has been reached, in terms of more of the
same.

Today, in any mature information society, we no longer live online or offline but onlife, that is, we increasingly live in that special space, or infosphere, that is seamlessly analogue and digital, offline and online. In this new era, machine-readable data, new forms of smart agency and more onlife interactions are constantly evolving, because our technologies are perfectly fit to take advantage of such a new environment. This digital revolution has transformed our views on our values, priorities, what is good behavior and what sort of innovation is socially preferable. That is the fundamental challenge. Let me explain!
The challenge is no loner technological innovation, but the governance of the digital. It is rather how we are going to design the infosphere and the mature information societies developing within it that matters most. I hope this will help us animate the debate on the discussion. What is our ethics as far as technology is concerned and how do we value humans in the sense of technology and how do we keep things human ?
Before going any further, some definitions would not go amiss.
Actions are moral in proportion as they tend to promote happiness, wrong as they need to produce the reverse of happiness. By happiness is intended pleasure and absence of pain.
What is ethical is not based on what is pleasant or beneficial, but rather on the obligation itself.
digital ethics, understood as the branch of ethics that studies and evaluates moral problems relating to data and information (including generation,recording, curation, processing, dissemination, sharing and use), algorithms (including AI, artificial agents, machine learning and robots) and corresponding practices andinfrastructures (including responsible innovation, programming, hacking, professional codes and standards), in order to formulate and support morally good solutions
Information ethics explores and evaluates:
given that an agent has a moral obligation to perform an action only if this is possible in the first place.
Ethical questions concerning collection and classifications of information are related to censorship and control.
The question concerning the protection of the intellectual property is one of the most important and difficult ethical, moral and legal ones in the field of information production.
The question of access can be studied as an individual as well as a societal issue.
Digital governance may comprise guidelines and recommendations that overlap with, but are not identical to, digital regulation.
When policy-makers, both in political and in business contexts, wonder why we should engage in moral evaluation when legal compliance is already available. the answer should be clear: compliance is necessary but insufficient to steer society in the right direction. Because digital regulation indicates what the legal and illegal moves in the game are, so to speak, but it says nothing about what the good and best moves could be to win the game—that is, to have a better society.
Privacy means any personal information regarding behavioral, financial, biometric, medical, and biographical data derived from business analytics. Information technology development has played a significant role in the collection and analysis of big data for better conclusions, but there is a significant concern in regards to privacy as an ethical concern.
There is a deficiency of both legislation and ethics in the field of information technology due to the rapid growth and production of new IT products.
Some organizations request their consumers for confirmation on the collection and use of their data, and many leading organizations have used this model. Organizations, e.g., Google and Facebook, use the model to collect data to personalize consumer experience, , but there is a rising claim of personal information abuse, such as sharing with third parties, e.g., the latest Facebook case for sharing consumer data with Cambridge Analytica, which used the data in geopolitical mapping.
Group privacy The era of big data has enlarged the scope of data analytics with a significant focus being pushed on the group level, because data technology techniques have enabled the analysts to have greater access, which is a privacy threat.
This is an infringement to individual privacy, due to the unavailability of enough information to classify individuals in groups with most deductions being made in terms of demographics of the community, which individuals provide in their social media profiles as public information.
In this regard, it can be summarized that data analysis encroaches on personal privacy if it is used without the information owner’s consent
Simply put, it is the science of making computers more human-like.
AI would be the biggest event in human history. Unfortunately, it might also be the last.
Because experts create machines that can make decision like humans, but these machines do not have morality and likely never will.
Although there has been less discussion on the ethical questions and issues raised by the emergence of AI.
. For example, the use of IoT technologies would make some public services easier and accessible. Similarly, the use of distributed ledger technologies can have positive and negative implications for online safety.
Data management is the process of administering data by managing the acquisition, storage, validation, processing, and protection of data to ensure reliability, timeliness, and accessibility of data by the users.
There is a need to create more awareness among information technology consumers on the privacy issues facing the use of digital technology.
Extensive education can incorporate digital technology users in the fight against information malpractice, such as the collection of information without the consent of the owners.
One of the methods of ensuring sustainability is the incorporation of data privacy education in the curriculums of education institutions, which will raise a data security practices aware generation that will act as ambassadors to educate those close to them, such as elderly parents and relatives who do not understand the data privacy concerns in digital technology
It was developed to describe the scientific research and technological development processes that would put into consideration the effects and possible impact on the environment and the entire society at large
Information societies are maturing all over the world. More will appear in the future.
Nonetheless , as digital individuals, we need to be more responsible while using these new technologies and striving at the same time for the well being of the society.
The key question is how do you to keep things human in a world that is completely connected where everything is more monitored and tracked and come interconnected and growing exponentially. So digital ethics is really about this issue of keeping humanity alive and not putting the machines inside of absolutely everything and that that is a great opportunities for companies to say that they care.
This is the becoming a key question because human things have to do with trust and humans are based on engagement, on relationships. Humans are not living off the data pipeline. You know they are. it’s much more about relationships. So this a key opportunity for companies using great technology to put humanity on top and letting human things flourish rather than squash them with automation. It’s quite clear that if we don’t have a moral compass and a value system and eventually we disconnect and everything falls apart because we’ve our purpose right .
The bottom line is that technology has no ethics but society and humans depend on it.
Well in the very near future the shift will be from how to why and who and that shifts a whole discussion over to from feasibility into purpose and I think that’s a major shift. and again trust is the place where everybody meets and technology is not what we seek but how we seek.
