Advanced Computer Ethics: A Study of Artificial Intelligence

Justice, Autonomy, Freedom, Democracy, Equality, Privacy and the Common Good are all values that can be supported or threatened by computer technology. Considering that computer technologies are the fundamental infrastructure of the Information Age, ethical questions arise regarding access and control, privacy, property, identity and professional responsibility. It is important as a future Computer Scientist and Game Developer that I understand the ethical boundaries involved in software development. In this course, I will examine these values as issues that arise at the intersection of ethics, computers, technology, and society are addressed. I will also be closely studying (and presenting a project) on Artificial Intelligence

Disability in the United States directly affects 1 in 5 citizens (CDC, 2015). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that of the 1 in 5 citizens who are disabled, the most common disability type is mobility limitation (CDC, 2015). Our research has shown that, through rehabilitation, stroke victims have been able to improve mobility limitations with the use of Virtual Reality (VR) (Merians, Alma S et al, 2002). Small clinical studies have shown that victims can be rehabilitated to improve their limited motion. In designing a Fencing video game, we intend to open up the sport of Fencing to the disabled who are unable to participate physically in the sport. The invention of VR has allowed a full immersion experience into the environment designed by the developer. We are geared towards providing those who are unable to Fence physically with the emotions and experiences that mentally come with the sport of Fencing. This game will be designed for all, but directed towards those who are physically--due to disability or age--unable to partake in Fencing
