            <p>The rapid evolution of information systems has fundamentally reshaped modern society, bringing forth complex dilemmas that transcend technical functionality. This course explores the critical intersection of ethics, sustainability, and social issues within the digital landscape. By examining normative ethical perspectives such as utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics, we establish a framework for evaluating the impact of technology on human behavior and societal structures. Key topics include the psychological effects of technology addiction, the challenges of human-computer interaction, and the profound societal implications of robotic and artificial intelligence replacement of the workforce. Through the lens of systems thinking and the DIKW pyramid, we will analyze how data and information are transformed into the wisdom necessary to navigate these modern challenges.</p>

<p>Beyond individual ethics, the curriculum delves into the broader responsibilities of organizations through the lens of sustainability and legal protection. We will analyze how information systems can be designed to be "green" and "lean," supporting sustainable consumption, production, and supply chain management in alignment with global Sustainable Development Goals and Corporate Social Responsibility. Furthermore, the course provides a comprehensive overview of intellectual property laws—including copyrights, patents, and trade secrets—and the global initiatives led by organizations like the World Intellectual Property Organization to protect innovation in a digital age. These legal frameworks are essential for understanding the ethical boundaries of software development and data usage in a competitive global market.</p>

<p>As we move into specialized domains, the focus shifts toward the ethical governance of emerging technologies and sensitive data. This includes a deep dive into the ethics of artificial intelligence and machine learning, specifically addressing issues of fairness, algorithmic bias, and the necessity for transparency and explainability in automated decision-making. The course concludes with a critical look at health informatics, where the privacy and confidentiality of sensitive health data, along with the ownership and control of personal information, present unique ethical and regulatory challenges. By the end of this course, you will be equipped to evaluate the impact of technology through a multi-faceted ethical and social lens, ensuring that future information systems are both innovative and responsible.</p>
