Chris Matyszczyk, ZDNet; Stanford makes a startling new discovery. Ethics
"Now, in a glorious moment of chest-beating and head-bobbing, Stanford
University president Marc Tessier-Lavigne has admitted that his
university -- which spawned so many young, great tech titans, such as
the founders of Google, Instagram and LinkedIn -- failed to make titanic
efforts in the area of ethics.
In an interview with the Financial Times, he revealed that the university now intends to explore the teaching of "ethics, society and technology."
As we survey the political and social carnage that seems to have been enabled by technology over the last few years, it's remarkable that this wasn't thought of before."
Issues and developments related to ethics, information, and technologies, examined in the ethics and intellectual property graduate courses I teach at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information. My Bloomsbury book "Ethics, Information, and Technology" will be published in Summer 2025. Kip Currier, PhD, JD
