In this class, I have three weeks set aside for students to pick an emerging technology and discuss it and ethical dilemmas that might occur from those technologies. There are a variety of topics you may want to talk about including: We shall discuss, and students are expected to research, and provide thoughts both pro…
We’ve previously looked at general purpose AI, and mentioned how there are some specific, or narrow focus AIs out there as well. These are designed to do a specific task, such as drive a car, detect intruders on a camera system, etc. Today, we walk to look at Self Driving, or Autonomous cars. This is…
We’ve previously looked at general purpose AI, and mentioned how there are some specific, or narrow focus AIs out there as well. These are designed to do a specific task, such as drive a car, detect intruders on a camera system, etc. Today we’re going to look at those that work with images specifically. While…
We’ve already talked a little about the ethical considerations of artificial intelligence applications because they collect data from sources which might not have given permission for the data to be used in that manner. This is a matter as we’ve already discussed about who owns “your” data. Consider how AI tools are being trained. Have…

The term is frequently applied to the project of developing systems endowed with the intellectual processes characteristic of humans, such as the ability to reason, discover meaning, generalize, or learn from past experience. – https://www.britannica.com/technology/artificial-intelligence…
We’ve previously looked at what is electronic voting. Then we looked at the ethics of allowing voting using an electronic method. Now we’ll discuss the ethics of preventing the use of electronic voting. Most, as we will see, are because of the chance of tampering. They showed this in the clever Sci-Fi TV show Eureka…
We’ve previously looked at what is electronic voting. Now we want to look at the ethics of allowing voting using an electronic method. We’ll discuss the ethics of preventing it’s use in another article. There are several reasons to allow, or move to, various forms of electronic voting, including fully digital voting over the Internet….

This process may vary from country to country in both when and how voting is done, as well as if it is compulsory or optional. In the United States, each state has it’s own separate laws, which…
