Just
Consequentialism as a Method for Computer Ethics
Some
claim that computing requires completely new ethics
and others claim that no special ethics is required.
I
wish to argue that computing is indeed a special technology
that requires new ethical insights but one that also
can draw upon traditional ethical notions. Regretably,
traditional ethical theories tend to be confused,
conflicting, and not very helpful. I will discuss
Just consequentialism as a method of doing computer
ethics that alleviates these difficulties and offers
hope of progress in computer ethics.
