Title overview

A thoughtful approach to evaluating the social and ethical considerations of new and emerging technologies

Ethics for the Information Age considers not only the short-term benefits of technology, but possible long-term effects as well. The text is designed to provide you with a solid grounding in ethics and logic, an understanding of the history of technology and a familiarity with current and cutting-edge information technology.

The 9th Edition is extensively updated to cover many new developments and controversies related to the introduction, use and misuse of information technology in modern society. New material aligns with the beta version of the ACM/IEEE-CS/AAAI Computer Science Curricula 2023 as well as cutting-edge topics such as generative AI and ChatGPT; the impact of COVID-19; social media’s role in protests; and more.
