A Methodological Reflection on Converging Technologies and Their Relevance to Informa-tion Ethics

In light of converging technologies, there is a clear sense that ethicists of various technological domains are coming together. Or, that they should come together. Yet, despite increasing cooperation and boundary-crossing in various fields of the ethics of technology, these efforts remain mostly at topical level. Relatively little attention has been given to issues on methodologies. The current paper aims to contribute to the current research by raising the methodological issues. In this paper, my objective is to argue that ethics of Information Technology (or Information Ethics (IE)) can benefit from the insights in other fields of the ethics of technology. Drawing the insights from other fields of the ethics of technology, I shall propose a systematic account of an Empirical Information Ethics (EIE)

Disclosive ethics and information technology: disclosing facial recognition systems

This paper is an attempt to present disclosive ethics as a framework for computer and information ethics � in line with the suggestions by Brey, but also in quite a different manner. The potential of such an approach is demonstrated through a disclosive analysis of facial recognition systems. The paper argues that the politics of information technology is a particularly powerful politics since information technology is an opaque technology � i.e. relatively closed to scrutiny. It presents the design of technology as a process of closure in which design and use decisions become black-boxed and progressively enclosed in increasingly complex sociotechnical networks. It further argues for a disclosive ethics that aims to disclose the nondisclosure of politics by claiming a place for ethics in every actual operation of power � as manifested in actual design and use decisions and practices. It also proposes that disclosive ethics would aim to trace and disclose the intentional and emerging enclosure of politics from the very minute technical detail through to social practices and complex social-technical networks. The paper then proceeds to do a disclosive analysis of facial recognition systems. This analysis discloses that seemingly trivial biases in recognition rates of FRSs can emerge as very significant political acts when these systems become used in practice

Smartphones, time-lapse and responsible use in the school laboratory

Place, information technology and legal ethics

This thesis addresses the impact that technology has on lawyers’ ethics. It first establishes a case for place, drawing on the works of Martin Heidegger and his disciples. By analysing legal theory, ethical theory, continental philosophy and technology theory, three key elements of place emerge – location, community and history. This Heideggerian framework underpins the thesis and addresses the issues lawyers face with increased technology use. Lawyers are currently confronted by technology that has evolved as a result of globalisation. Their ethical obligations in relation to communication, confidentiality, conflicts of interest and litigation are challenged. Place affects lawyers’ ethics to a significant extent. A place based ethical perspective fills the gap within community theories of lawyers’ ethics and bridges the gap between ethical theories and technology philosophy. By recognising and preserving place, lawyers will maintain a stronger connection with their professional duties

Information Communication and Technology for Political Communication Ethics

The purpose of the research is to know about political communication ethics in a demonstration. Political communication ethics is one of the efforts to prevent anarchic actions in demonstrations. In a demonstration, there are ways of expressing opinions to understand. Anarchic demonstrations can cause the goal of the demonstration not to be achieved. This research used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. In this research, researchers use data analysis to explain political communication ethics in the demonstration in Indonesia. The results of this study show that in political communication ethics there is politeness. Therefore, demonstrating is required to understand ethics in expressing opinions. This political ethic is influenced by social, cultural, political, and economic factors developed in society. An ethical demonstration can lead to the achievement of the objectives of the demonstration. The result of this research's discussion is that political communication ethics adhere to politeness, so that political communication ethics requires political communication actors to understand the social, cultural, political, and economic influences on political communication. By understanding the ethics of political communication, it will create a peaceful demonstration

On the Analysis of Library Information Ethics and the Standard Construction in the Era of Big Data

With the advent of the Internet and the arrival of the era of big data, it brought the community convenience and also the problem of information ethics. Based on the analysis of the phenomenon of information ethics, this paper points out that the Problem of information ethics is mainly reflected in three aspects: equality and freedom of access to information, user privacy and information security, and information organization，moreover, put forward to develop the corresponding information ethics standards and guidelines, to carry out the library staff and users of information ethics education, and enhance the awareness of information ethics, and full use of technology protection measures

Effect of Tax Rate, Taxation Technology and Information, Possibility of Fraud Detection, and Tax Fairnesson Taxpayer Perception of Tax Fraud Ethics (Empirical Study on KPP Pekanbaru, Dumai, Rokan Hilir)

This research is aimed to examine effect of tax rate, taxation technology and information, possibility of fraud detection, and tax fairness on taxpayer perception of tax fraud ethics. This research uses primary data by questioners. Data are analyzed by using multiple regression with 105 respondents of individual taxpayers (wajib pajak orang pribadi) listed in Kantor Pelayanan Pajak  (KPP) Pratama Senapelan Pekanbaru, KPP Dumai Kota, KPP Rokan Hilir, Riau, Indonesia.

Nudge or Puppet? Decision-Making, Ethics, and Leadership in the Information Age

In the past two decades, algorithm-based information technology has provided great convenience and a strong theoretical foundation for organizational leadership decision-making, since the analysis of contextual information from data analysis and mathematical models enhances decision-makers’ judgments. However, improper use and insufficient understanding of information technology also bring negative results throughout the practical application. To eliminate adverse effects, organization leader requires rigorous ethical demands. A case study for IBM and literature review constituted the paper’s methodology, analyzed through the East-West decision theory, the duality of information technology, and the ancient Chinese ethics. Also, the leadership ethics and the adaptive leadership theory established the theoretical basis for the argument, and the interpretation of ethics based on ancient Chinese from Yin and Yang theory set an alternative for organizational leaders to make optimal decisions

Blockchain Ethics in Information Systems: A Literature Review

Blockchain is an open distributed ledger likely to influence future data transactions and human interactions. As blockchain adoption becomes a reality in many industries, an ethical perspective is crucial to guide researchers and stakeholders on this technology\u27s responsible use and implementation. However, current research on blockchain ethics is still at an early stage and is highly fragmented among different disciplines. This timely literature review investigates the current state of blockchain ethics research in the Information Systems (IS) and Information Management (IM) domains and presents a thematic classification as a basis for a critical assessment of blockchain ethics. This study also provides a theoretical grounding for the development of blockchain ethics as a standalone subject and identifies areas within blockchain ethics that would benefit from further development. Overall, results showed that most studies on blockchain ethics are context-specific and perceive this technology as a solution to ethical issues within a specific field. We found that there is a need for a broader conceptualization of blockchain ethics as the implicit and explicit consequences of adopting this technology have not yet been developed
