I'm with the earlier commenter noting the code of ethics from IEEE & ACM. I think there are aspects of human life not being addressed in either their set or yours, though.
What's missing:
- minimizing attention required
- preserving human connection
- digital addiction prevention, detection, mitigation
- ethical software that knows how we're feeling (we need to start thinking about this one now before the tech becomes ubiquitous)
The problem I see with each of these is that we have very few design processes for addressing them, so asking people to focus on them leads to continued naive harm due to a lack of understanding. Most social media serves to connect humans, but actual human connection is poorly maintained through it.
I'm working on a scientific theory of design that combines neuroscience with mindfulness & design thinking. The list I mentioned above are the core problems in trying to tackle with it.
I'm curious...what are your thoughts on all this as they apply to the manifesto?
