Updated ACM Code of Ethics

Mentioned this effort last year, has been further updated.    Worth looking at how it would be useful in your domain.   However, at the very end there is a quote   “if you can’t predict what your system will do, and you can’t or won’t monitor it, you shouldn’t deploy it.”  ....  Having built many systems I can assure you will never know EXACTLY how a system will behave.  Even a simple implementation of  a forecast is inexact by definition.   And no business would implement something whose significant results are not followed.  Better to plug this all into a risk analysis for monitoring.    But it is useful to experimentally test results,  else whats research for? 

Why Should We Care About Technology Ethics? The Updated ACM Code of Ethics 
InfoQ     By Ben Linders

The ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct was updated last year in response to changes in the computing field over the past decades. Catherine Flick of the ACM Committee on Professional Ethics said ethical responsibility is especially critical to artificial intelligence (AI) developers, as uncertainty surrounding machine learning techniques and uses could sow public distrust, especially with their integration into infrastructure. Flick added that the Code of Ethics must be holistically applied to artificial intelligence and machine learning applications. “Put simply,” Flick said, “if you can’t predict what your system will do, and you can’t or won’t monitor it, you shouldn’t deploy it.”
