ETHICAL DELIMMAS AND PRIVACY

ISSUES
IN EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
NAME: SAMSON B. OCMAPO BS-CRIM 1 MSTV 112: HOMEWORK 2

QUESTION NO.1
What are the five major ethical dilemmas currently faced by emerging
technologies?
The five major ethical dilemmas currently faced by emerging technologies are:

1. Data Privacy

Collection and Use: Widespread collection and use of personal data raises concerns
about informed consent, data ownership, and potential misuse.

Surveillance: Increasing use of surveillance technologies threatens individual autonomy


and freedom.

Data Breaches: Frequency and severity of data breaches highlight vulnerability of


personal data and need for robust security measures

Profiling and Discrimination: Use of personal data for profiling and targeting can
perpetuate existing biases and lead to discriminatory practices.

2. Risks Associated With Artificial Intelligence


Bias and Discrimination: AI systems can perpetuate existing biases and discriminate
against certain groups.

Job Displacement: AI-powered automation can lead to significant job displacement and
economic disruption.

Loss of Human Agency: Over-reliance on AI decision-making can erode human agency


and autonomy

Security Risks: AI systems can be vulnerable to cyber attacks and data breaches.

Lack of Transparency: AI decision-making processes can be opaque, making it difficult to


understand and challenge their outputs.
3. Developing Sustainable Environments

Climate Change: Human activities contributing to climate change pose significant ethical
concerns, including intergenerational justice and global inequality.

Resource Depletion: Overconsumption of natural resources raises concerns about


fairness, equity, and the well-being of future generations.

Biodiversity Loss: The destruction of ecosystems and loss of biodiversity threaten the
health and resilience of ecosystems, as well as human well-being.

Environmental Justice: The disproportionate impact of environmental degradation on


vulnerable populations raises concerns about justice, equity, and human rights.

4. Health Implications Due To Technology Use

Mental Health Concerns: Excessive technology use has been linked to increased
symptoms of anxiety, depression, and loneliness.

Sleep Disturbances: Exposure to screens and the constant notifications from devices can
interfere with sleep patterns, leading to sleep deprivation and related health issues.

Physical Inactivity: Sedentary behavior associated with technology use contributes to


obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

Eye Strain and Vision Problems: Prolonged screen time can cause eye strain, headaches,
and increase the risk of myopia (nearsightedness) and other vision problems.

Addiction and Social Isolation: Over-reliance on technology can lead to social isolation,
decreased face-to-face communication skills, and increased risk of technology addiction.

5. Infodemic and Data Weaponization Issues.

Misinformation and Disinformation: Spread of false or misleading information can cause


harm to individuals, communities, and society.

Data Privacy and Security: Unauthorized use or manipulation of personal data can
compromise individual autonomy and trust.

Manipulation and Coercion: Use of data to influence or control individuals or groups


raises concerns about autonomy, free will, and democracy.

Polarization and Social Division: Data-driven disinformation campaigns can exacerbate


social divisions, undermine trust, and erode social cohesion.
