the Association for Computing Machinery, of which I am president, has issued a new code of ethics for computing professionals. And it’s why ACM is taking other steps to help technologists engage with ethical questions.
This went over my head, as other professions have code of ethics but never wondered in the computer science world what or if there were a code of ethics. As this is important to the field. Taking a look at other professions such as teaching where there is no code of ethics, teachers are punished for trying to help students outside of school. By having a code of ethics we might be able to look at situations and figure how to approach situations without having to go through a self moral dilemma.
