The official description is: Computer Ethics is an introduction to the theories and issues of ethical behavior as applied to the exigencies of a rapidly changing, information-oriented, computer-driven society. Topics include ethical history, philosophies, and issues at the responsibility level of both corporate business and the individual. Various ethical theories are introduced and discussed. Numerous current and past case histories are presented.
We take major technology-related issues from current events (AI, biotech, social media, virtual reality, creativity, privacy, etc) and look at them through the lens of professional and social ethics, including a starting point of how to make ethical decisions. I feel like the ability to contribute to an unbiased, neutral source like Wikipedia will be a valuable exercise for this particular subject area.
