Michele Gilman, ‘Periods for Profit and the Rise of Menstrual Surveillance’
I have been in the tech industry for about 25 years, doing everything. I was an engineer, startup founder, eCommerce, all kinds of things. These days I am a visiting lecturer in tech ethics at the University of Hertfordshire. I'm also on sabbatical from Container Solutions writing a series of science fiction novels. I've just finished book five which will be out in time for Christmas.
I'm going to give you a very fast run through the major issues in tech with the pros and cons, and the things that we need to think about, the ethical issues. I cover this on my course. This is three of my lectures.
It would take about three hours. I'm going to compress it down into 20 minutes. I'm going to start slightly differently from that. I'm going to start with what I start the course with. The first lecture is the of tech ethics, just to set a little bit of context here for the rest of it. The of tech ethics is don't break the law. It might seem obvious but it is necessary. It's not sufficient but it's absolutely necessary. In fact, there are lots of laws that apply to technology that we do need to follow. It's not just the GDPR. The GDPR actually contains some very useful stuff about how to behave better around algorithmic mass surveillance pros and cons and right of reply.
The Pros And Cons Of Edward Snowden
Privacy, I'm not so bothered about privacy. I think the other parts of it are actually surveillancr good. It's not just the GDPR, we're talking about copyright law, contracts, and accessibility. There are an awful lot of laws. Equally importantly are equalities and discrimination law, that if we obey the law we are actually a large way towards being ethically correct. It's actually very easy to break the law with technology without realizing mass surveillance pros and cons, so staying on top of what society has already codified is the right thing to do.
You do need to do that.
Pros And Cons Of Having A Professional Code Of Ethics
It's not everything that you need to do but it's a good start. The rest of this talk is about things that are not necessarily against the law yet, but are likely to be in the future because the law tends to lag behind what technology can do and what society has decided that technology should do. It doesn't lag that far behind, so if you're paying attention and reading the newspapers, you'll survelilance able to see mass surveillance pros and cons direction that the society is going in and try not to do things which are already looking highly dodgy. The rest of this talk, I'm going to talk to you about things that are not against the law yet but do need to be thought about very carefully. I'm going to start with something that I normally talk about which is pollution and mass change and the tech industry.
You might have already read Greenpeace's Click Clean Reports, which are very good. That is actually quite a lot of electricity.]
