Many of the significant developments of our era have resulted from
advances in technology, including the design of large-scale systems;
advances in medicine, manufacturing, and artificial intelligence; the
role of social media in influencing behaviour and toppling
governments; and the surge of online transactions that are replacing
human face-to-face interactions. These advances have given rise to new
kinds of ethical concerns around the uses (and misuses) of technology.
This collection of essays by prominent academics and technology
leaders covers important ethical questions arising in modern industry,
offering guidance on how to approach these dilemmas. Chapters discuss
what we can learn from the ethical lapses of #MeToo, Volkswagen, and
Cambridge Analytica, and highlight the common need across all
applications for sound decision-making and understanding the
implications for stakeholders. Technologists and general readers with
no formal ethics training and specialists exploring technological
applications to the field of ethics will benefit from this overview.
