An exploratory analysis of practices associated with Computational Ethics through Brazilian cyberspace
Abstract
Ethical Decision-Making (EDM) is a multifaceted phenomenon. However, scholars often neglect its heterogeneous nature. Despite the diversity of approaches (for example, influencing factors, EDM models, measurement scales adopted), empirical research has failed to generate cumulative results. This paper analyzed two hundred and thirty-one responses to a questionnaire submitted to computer experts about "immoral or unethical practices" that they have been involved in, directly or indirectly. We intend to investigate these phenomena through a disruptive and innovative approach in Ethics, called Ethics of Resistance, by a mixed approach; without criminal, legal or penal judgment, considering the maximum number of elements and possible factors extracted.
Keywords:
Computational Ethics, Information Systems, Ethical Decision Making
