Lecture 3: Computer ethics and the HBP
Speaker: Bernd Stahl, De Montfort University, UK

The HBP as an ICT flagship project crucially relies on ICT and will contribute important input into the development of new computing principles and artefacts. Individuals working on the HBP should therefore be aware of the long history of ethical issues discussed in computing. The discourse on ethics and computing can be traced back to Norbert Wiener and the very beginning of digital computing. From the 1970s and 80s it has developed into an active discussion involving academics from various disciplines, professional bodies and industry. The lecture will provide an overview of the most widely discussed ethical issues in computing and demonstrate that privacy and data protection are by no means the only issue worth worrying about. It will cover likely ethical issues that can be expected in emerging ICTs and specifically look at the issues that are likely to arise in the context of the HBP.
