ETHICAL ISSUES IN ICT

Ethical issues in Information and Communication Technology (ICT)


involve the moral dilemmas that arise from the use and development of
technology. These issues include concerns over privacy, where individuals'
personal data can be collected, stored, and shared without their consent, often
leading to misuse or unauthorized access. Intellectual property rights are
another ethical challenge, with widespread digital content making it easy for
users to plagiarize or distribute copyrighted materials illegally. Additionally,
issues like digital divide highlight inequality in access to technology, while
questions of surveillance and the balance between security and freedom raise
debates about individual rights. Ensuring ethical practices in ICT requires
addressing these challenges while fostering responsible and fair use of
technology.

 Privacy: The collection, storage, and sharing of personal data without


proper consent, leading to concerns about individuals' control over
their information.
 Intellectual Property: Unauthorized copying, distribution, or use of
software, music, and other digital content, infringing on creators' rights.
 Digital Divide: Unequal access to technology and internet resources,
creating disparities between different socioeconomic groups.
 Surveillance: The ethical concerns surrounding government or
corporate monitoring of individuals' activities, potentially violating
personal freedoms.
 Cyberbullying: The misuse of digital platforms to harass, threaten, or
harm others, raising questions about responsible online behaviour.
 Data Manipulation: Altering or fabricating information in digital
platforms to deceive users or distort the truth.
 Cybersecurity: Balancing the need to protect data with the ethical
responsibility of not infringing on users' privacy or rights during
monitoring and security practices.
 Workplace Ethics: The misuse of technology at work, such as wasting
time on non-work-related tasks or accessing inappropriate content.
 AI and Automation: Ethical concerns over job displacement and the
accountability of decisions made by autonomous systems and artificial
intelligence.
 Freedom of Speech: The debate over regulating content on digital
platforms while respecting the right to express opinions online.
