Description: The lecture will cover an introduction to ethical thinking and ethical issues faced by current Information Technology. Specifically, we will cover the interplay of ethics and information systems, social issues caused with poorly handled ethical concerns and privacy in information technology. We will emphasize on areas in which Information Technology has raised societal and ethical challenges in recent years: privacy, algorithm bias, online content dissemination, and accountability in the design of Information Technology. During the course you will reflect through actual real-world examples on the main ethical issues faced by Information Technology, and will design and present potential alternatives for identified ethical concerns.
