IT Ethichs: Software Development and Quality Life Cycle

1. Read the fictional “Case of the Killer Robot” (link The Case of the Killer Robot (http://www.onlineethics.org/cms/5122.aspx). It is broken up into several sections:- The main question your post should address is “Which characters have ethical responsibility for the death of Bart Matthews?” Please also respond to each and all of these points:

  • Which characters have some legal guilt in the death of Bart Matthews? Is there a difference between ethical responsibility and legal guilt?
  • How much input should a user have into the process of designing a computer system that they are going to use?
  • Under what conditions would YOU be comfortable with the Robbie CX30 returning to service?
  • In general, who should be held responsible for software that malfunctions and causes harm? Is faulty different from malicious?
  • What are some other situations in which bad code could cause harm?
  • Are the five tests of Kallman and Grillo (as presented by Harry Yoder*) useful in making ethical decisions?
    • the mom test — would you tell your mother what you did?
    • the TV test — would you tell a national TV audience what you did? (although, we probably need to update this to “the social media test”)
    • the smell test — does what you did have a bad smell to it?
    • the other person’s shoes test — would you like what you did to be done to you?
    • the market test — would your action be a good sales pitch?

Feel free to use news articles as references, making sure to list those and any other references at the bottom of the post. Quotations by famous people are allowed, as well – you only have to identify the speaker, not the specific work, in the case of well-known quotations.

2. what is your worst technology habit that serves to separate you from society? Does it bother you? If it does, why don’t you stop?

Questions are different. Please answer on 2 seperate documents.
