5.10 ETHICAL AND SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF COMPUTING by Suzanne Ede https://padlet.com/suziede3/qy50che24mvjw19y Made with the best of intentions en-us 2021-12-02 11:32:25 UTC 2026-03-16 08:37:16 UTC hello@padlet.com ACM professional code of ethics suziede3 https://padlet.com/suziede3/qy50che24mvjw19y/wish/1924915414 In computer science, we follow the following ACM professional code of ethics which includes guidelines such as “Avoid harm” and “Respect privacy”.]]> 2021-12-02 11:33:37 UTC https://padlet.com/suziede3/qy50che24mvjw19y/wish/1924915414 List 5 or 6 of your most frequently used computer programs or applications: suziede3 https://padlet.com/suziede3/qy50che24mvjw19y/wish/1924916350 A)  How do you think the developers of that particular application intended it to be used?
B)  Is this particular application ALWAYS used in the way its developers intended?
C)  What unintended consequences has this application had as a result of public use?  That is, how is the program or application used in a way that may not have been its initial purpose?

For example, self-driving cars that use machine learning to learn to follow lanes and avoid collisions could make our world much safer. Self-driving cars do not get distracted by text messages and don’t drink and drive. However, what if the car needs to make an ethical decision about avoiding a collision with a pedestrian by causing an accident that may also lead to the loss of life? Who makes these decisions? The software? the programmers? If you were a programmer for a self-driving car, how would you approach such decisions?]]> 2021-12-02 11:37:18 UTC https://padlet.com/suziede3/qy50che24mvjw19y/wish/1924920301 Bia in CS suziede3 https://padlet.com/suziede3/qy50che24mvjw19y/wish/1924921136 2021-12-02 11:37:56 UTC https://padlet.com/suziede3/qy50che24mvjw19y/wish/1924921136 Find more examples of how bias effects CS suziede3 https://padlet.com/suziede3/qy50che24mvjw19y/wish/1924921548 2021-12-02 11:38:16 UTC https://padlet.com/suziede3/qy50che24mvjw19y/wish/1924921548 Find more examples of how bias effects CS suziede3 https://padlet.com/suziede3/qy50che24mvjw19y/wish/1924922055 2021-12-02 11:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/suziede3/qy50che24mvjw19y/wish/1924922055 Find more examples of how bias effects CS suziede3 https://padlet.com/suziede3/qy50che24mvjw19y/wish/1924922352 2021-12-02 11:38:53 UTC https://padlet.com/suziede3/qy50che24mvjw19y/wish/1924922352 Essential AP CSA Knowledge suziede3 https://padlet.com/suziede3/qy50che24mvjw19y/wish/1926232498
  • While programs are typically designed to achieve a specific purpose, they may have unintended consequences.
  • System reliability is limited. Programmers should make an effort to maximize system reliability.
  • Legal issues and intellectual property concerns arise when creating programs.
  • The creation of programs has impacts on society, economies, and culture. These impacts can be beneficial and/or harmful.
