Technoethics (2 hours) [NT]

From the dawn of the Digital Age, ethical issues – with no easy solutions – have existed. These include questions relating to privacy, workers’ rights, and intellectual property. And, as technology advances, more issues are sure to arise. In this session, you will learn about the emerging field of technoethics and what you can do to promote ethical behavior in your organization, particularly as it relates to technology. You will also learn about some of the more notable technoethics lapses that have occurred, the fallout resulting from them, and how they could have been prevented.
