Mutually reinforcing innovations in computing and engineering are catapulting
advances in technological production. From blockchain and artificial
intelligence (AI) to gene editing and the Internet of Things (IoT), these
advances come with tremendous opportunities for improvement in productivity,
efficiency, and human well-being. But as scandals increasingly demonstrate,
these advances also introduce new and serious risks of conflict and
harm.Technology professionals now face growing demands to identify and mitigate
ethical risks to human rights and the environment, as well as to navigate
ethical tradeoffs between qualities such as privacy and accuracy, fairness and
utility, and safety and accountability. This course provides the tools to

applying theories, principles, frameworks, and techniques in their own roles and
organizations.
