Should Software Engineers Care About Ethics?
- ada1981 9y agoYes.
- klez 9y ago> Engineers should develop a shared set of ethics that they can turn to when they are asked to build something illegal or unethical Absolutely! > Software should be regulated This is a bit of a stretch. Or at least, it should be expanded upon a bit. I agree that certain classes of software should be regulated (biomedical, avionics, self driving cars) and, mostly, already are. But to regulate all software seems a bit of an excessive reaction. Also because this may lead to really unpleasing consequences wrt free software (as much as trusted computing was threatening to do at the time).
