Making Ethical Decisions in Software Design with Prof. Daniel Jackson & Serena Booth (S3E6)
[MUSIC PLAYING] DANIEL JACKSON: These ethical concerns don't come about because of simple binary choices between being good or evil. They come about largely because of lack of awareness. SARAH HANSEN: Today on Chalk Radio, we're talking about how the ethical decisions of engineers shape the software we use every day. SERENA BOOTH: Ultimately, through going through this concrete process, the goal is to get you to identify what we call value-laden decision points in your engineering work and to choose better, just through being more informed and deliberate. SARAH HANSEN: I'm your host, Sarah Hansen. This week, we're in conversation with two MIT scientists who are thinking deeply about how software design impacts our experiences in the world. They're also encouraging students to examine the fault lines between humans and technology and helping students to consider the social and ethical responsibilities of computing.
