Do we need ethics in software engineering?

slide-4
SLIDE 4

Few past incidents...

slide-5
SLIDE 5

Few ethical concerns...

  • Fairness
  • Diversity
  • Sustainability
  • Responsibility
  • Privacy
  • Transparency
  • Dependability
  • Professional

conduct

  • Business conducts

Our vision

Ethical harmony

Stakeholders SE Processes

result in ethics-aligned respect the values of can choose based

  • n their values

Software

slide-8
SLIDE 8

Ethical harmony exists when

  • Stakeholders state requirements on
  • Software product
  • Software engineering processes
  • Professionals produce software and work for organizations that are

aligned with their ethical values

  • Organizations follow their ethical principles
