Study Notes
Deontological Ethics
- Deontology is a duty-based or rule-based approach to ethics.
- It emphasizes moral obligation and fulfilling duties, regardless of the consequences.
- Deontological ethics mandates that ethical rules should be logically consistent and avoid contradictions.
Duty-Based Ethics
- Perfect duties are inflexible and absolute, like "Do not kill innocent people."
- Imperfect duties are less absolute and allow for flexibility in fulfilling them, for example, donating time to a cause.
Kantian Deontology
- Immanuel Kant argued that human reason gives every person dignity, rights, and obligations.
- He stated that we should never treat individuals as mere means to an end.
- Our actions should reflect maxims or principles that express our personal morals, like truth-telling, keeping promises, and justice.
Deontology and the AIS Professional Ethical Code
- Honesty and Trustworthiness: Be truthful and transparent, avoid making false or misleading claims, and uphold commitments.
- Fairness and Non-Discrimination: Value equality, tolerance, respect for others, and justice. Promote fair participation of all people and avoid creating discriminatory systems.
Deontology: Pros and Cons
- Pros: Provides a clear ethical framework, ensures fair treatment, emphasizes individual value, and places ethics within our control.
- Cons: Can be overly rigid, might lead to questionable outcomes, and could lead to conflicting moral duties.
Deontology in Data Sharing and Security: Case Scenarios
- Scenario 1: Observing a pop-up message on someone's laptop stating "Help, they are going to kill me!" raises ethical dilemmas regarding confidentiality and privacy.
- Scenario 2: Developing a surveillance system for preventing terrorist attacks requires accessing vast amounts of personal data, creating ethical conflicts between security and privacy.
