Please write a short paragraph of 250 words discussing any ethical issue that you come across at school, work or in your personal experience. Document what you are thinking and/or feeling as it relates to any ethical issues in computing or technology...any dilemmas that arise? Try to write a little about the issue and your feeling or ideas. If you are new to journaling, this may feel unusual. It is OK to be a little worried about the unknown, however, let the worry go and just explore the work and thoughts as they unfold.

Paper For Above instruction

Throughout this semester, my understanding of ethical issues in computing and technology has evolved significantly. Initially, I was somewhat naive about the extent to which technology impacts societal values, privacy, and individual rights. My early reflections mainly centered on superficial concerns, such as data privacy and online security. However, as I engaged more deeply with course materials, discussions, and real-world scenarios, my perspective broadened to encompass a wider array of ethical dilemmas including algorithmic bias, data ownership, and the societal implications of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.

This shift in awareness was prompted by case studies highlighting how technological decisions can perpetuate inequality or infringe upon user privacy without explicit awareness or consent. For example, I learned about facial recognition systems' potential to infringe on civil liberties or how biased training data can lead to discriminatory outcomes. These issues raised complex moral questions about responsibility, transparency, and accountability that I had not fully considered before.

My feelings about these ethical concerns are nuanced. I feel a mix of responsibility and concern—responsibility for how I, as a future technologist or user, can influence these issues and concern for marginalized groups impacted by unethical practices. Going forward, I plan to be more vigilant and proactive, advocating for ethical design and transparency. I believe that ongoing reflection, along with adhering to professional ethical standards, is essential in navigating dilemmas that arise in this ever-evolving technological landscape. I am committed to ongoing learning and ethical vigilance to ensure that technology serves society equitably and responsibly.
