# The Ethics Void: Join Me at LibrePlanet 2018!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I got word today that I'll be speaking again at this year's [LibrePlanet][]!
|
|||
|
|
I was going to attend even if I were not speaking,
|
|||
|
|
but I'm very excited to be able to continue to build off of last year's
|
|||
|
|
talk and further my activism on these topics.
|
|||

The title of this year's talk is _The Ethics Void_.
|
|||
|
|
Here's a rough abstract:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<!-- more -->
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> Medicine, legal, finance, journalism, scientific research—each of these
|
|||
|
|
> fields and many others have widely adopted codes of ethics governing the
|
|||
|
|
> lives of their professionals. Some of these codes may even be enshrined in
|
|||
|
|
> law. And this is for good reason: these are fields that have enormous
|
|||
|
|
> consequences.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> Software and technology pervade not only through these fields, but through
|
|||
|
|
> virtually every aspect of our lives. Yet, when compared to other fields, our
|
|||
|
|
> community leaders and educators have produced an ethics void. Last year, I
|
|||
|
|
> introduced numerous topics concerning #privacy, #security, and #freedom that
|
|||
|
|
> raise serious ethical concerns. Join me this year as we consider some of
|
|||
|
|
> those examples and others in an attempt to derive a code of ethics that
|
|||
|
|
> compares to each of these other fields, and to consider how leaders and
|
|||
|
|
> educators should approach ethics within education and guidance.

(My previous talks can be found on my ["Talks" page][talks].)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For this talk,
|
|||
|
|
I want to solicit the community at various points.
|
|||
|
|
I know what _I_ want to talk about,
|
|||
|
|
but what are some of the most important ethical issues to _you_?
|
|||
|
|
Unfortunately there's far too much to fit into a 40-minute talk!
|
|||
|
|
Feel free to send me an e-mail or reply to the [thread on GNU Social][thread].
