I discuss the "Ethics is not rocket science' project and give you a rundown of what to except from each episode. Remember, each episode will focus on a different ethical issue associated with technology. 

Our first season includes: 

  • Should we pass legislation to prohibit public use of facial recognition technology?
  • Should social media platforms be moderating or policing user-generated content? If so, what kind of content should be censored?
  • Is the use of A.I.s and predictive algorithms in the criminal justice system morally permissible?
  • Is it morally permissible for the government to implement a digital contact tracing program during a pandemic?
  • What is the best metric or method for determining who gets medical treatment during a pandemic in cases of a shortage of resources?
  • Is it morally permissible to use a food delivery app (e.g., Instacart) during a pandemic?
