System designers should articulate standards of behavior as part of a process of professionalization that will create accountability in the field of computer decision systems.
Predictor: Johnson, Deborah G.
Prediction, in context:In a 1995 article for Communications of the ACM [Association for Computing Machinery], Deborah Johnson and John Mulvey say standards of ethical behavior should be established: ”To ground our analysis, we focus on a short hypothetical scenario. We employ two stategies in analyzing the scenario. The first examines notions of responsibility and the role of norms in attributions of responsibility. The second focuses on the actors and relationships and the responsibilities associated with roles and relationships. We conclude by arguing that system designers should articulate standards of behavior as part of a process of professionalization that will create accountability in the field of computer decision systems.”
