The prevalence of digital tools, software, and data open endless ethical questions. They create effects we don’t always know how to anticipate which drive our norms for behavior and raise questions about issues of morality. Our quest for innovation may come at a cost, and we need ethical principles and practices spelled out for us today. This course explores and clearly explains the key ethical theories that should guide the design and use of technology. It offers practical advice for those who design and sell technology-based tools and informs anyone who uses technology in their professions. The lessons show us that we need to consider the influence of digital tools in our everyday lives, ask deeper questions about impact and justice, and think of ethics in innovation and technology in more relevant ways. This short course will take you through passages from the book Future Ethics. Author Cennydd Bowles will teach you about human bias in design; ethical vs. unethical types of persuasive communication, including marketing; uses of personal data and surveillance capitalism; and the impact design can have on global issues such as sustainability and human survival. Learn through a multimedia experience, with videos, book pages, and interactive reinforcement and assessment. Bowles knows that we have an opportunity to learn from our actions and history, but our actions are making history today.
