Ethics in Computer Science
The aim of the IPN Ethics Working Group is to provide a platform to share information and knowledge about the various Ethics Committees that already exist or are being formed within the various Informatics departments in the Netherlands. A special initiative is the IPN working group on Ethics in Computer Science.
In recent decades, the global research community has become increasingly aware of the responsibility that researchers bear in conducting research on humans. This ethical awareness encompasses a variety of disciplines, including Computer Science. Computer ethics is a branch of practical philosophy that deals with how computing professionals should make decisions regarding professional and social conduct. It encompasses the procedures, values, and practices that govern the use of computing technology without violating moral values and beliefs. Computer ethics primarily focuses on the ethical use of computing resources, including methods to avoid infringing copyrights, trademarks, and unauthorized distribution of digital content. It also addresses issues related to internet privacy, publication of copyrighted content, and user interaction with websites, software, and related services.
