Study Notes
Computing Professionals Responsibility
- Computing professionals have a responsibility to resist inducements to neglect their profession, prioritize high standards in their work, and uphold ethical principles.
- Maintaining professional competence involves continuous skill development through education, conferences, seminars, and independent study.
- Professionals must adhere to existing rules and regulations at multiple levels, including local, regional, national, and international.
- Ethical challenges should be addressed before a computing professional violates a rule. Prioritizing ethical conduct even if it means breaking a rule is important.
- To ensure high-quality work, professionals should participate in peer and stakeholder reviews, providing constructive feedback on the work of others.
- Evaluations of computer systems should be objective and trustworthy, providing detailed analysis of potential risks.
- When handling machine learning systems, professionals must prioritize careful risk assessment and mitigation.
- Computing professionals are expected to perform work only in areas of their competency.
- They are responsible for evaluating potential work assignments and for disclosing any lack of necessary expertise.
- Computing professionals should foster public understanding of computing by sharing knowledge and encouraging awareness of its impact, limitations, and opportunities.
- Professionals should access computing and communication resources only when authorized, with exceptions for actions that serve the public good.
- System security should be a top priority throughout the design and implementation process.
- Robust security measures and mitigation techniques are necessary to prevent accidental or intentional misuse.
- When data breaches occur, affected parties should be promptly notified, and appropriate guidance and remediation provided.
- User-friendliness is essential when implementing security features to ensure efficient system operation.
