Ethics Reflective Essay: I, Robot
Write a reflective essay on a movie or television series that addresses issues of information technology ethics. Suitable films include The Circle, Her, iRobot, AI: Artificial Intelligence, Eagle Eye, or episodes of Black Mirror, Westworld, or Mr. Robot.
Other suitable examples abound, and most are available online or via the library.
The reflective essay must be at least 500 words and address: - A brief description of the film (but not a full plot summary), and a general listing of some of the featured information technologies and activities with ethical implications. - A more detailed description of at least one scene/event in the film, including an explanation of an ethical issue using the ethical methods discussed in class, and the relevant information technology, noting any “uniqueness” issue that might be present with that technology.
A discussion of how the act/technology in the film could be ethically justified, as well as how it could be found ethically problematic.
Think about it in terms of examples used in class: one could justify torture because it will save many lives (utilitarian argument), or one could argue torture is never justified due to a duty to uphold certain principles (Rights argument).
Identification of at least one conceptual muddle or policy vacuum related to the example, and discussion of how these could be addressed “in the real world” if this fictional depiction became reality.
