Abstract

For humankind, ethics is old and computers are new.  Computing fast and fervent ascent to ubiquity didn't allow the field of ethics to maintain pace and society is reaping the foul fruits.  In this talk, I'll give a fly-by survey of the vast and mature field of ethics and attempt to convince you to adopt ethical considerations into the software development lifecycle. Expect time split equally between ethics, ethics in computing, and computing in society.
