  • Inside the Organization: Why Privacy and Security Engineering Is a Challenge for Engineers
    Proceedings of the IEEE, 2019
    Co-Authors: Sarah Spiekermann, Jana Korunovska, Marc Langheinrich
    Abstract:

    Machine ethics is a key challenge in times when digital Systems play an increasing role in people's lives. At the core of machine ethics is the handling of personal data and the security of machine operations. Yet, privacy and security engineering are a challenge in today's business world where personal data markets, corporate deadlines, and a lack of perfectionism frame the context in which engineers need to work. Besides these organizational and market challenges, each engineer has his or her specific view on the importance of these values that can foster or inhibit taking them into consideration. We present the results of an empirical study of 124 engineers based on the Theory of Planned Behavior and Jonas' Principle of Responsibility to understand the drivers and impediments of Ethical System development as far as privacy and security engineering are concerned. We find that many engineers find the two values important, but do not enjoy working on them. We also find that many struggle with the organizational environment: They face a lack of time and autonomy that is necessary for building Ethical Systems, even at this basic level. Organizations' privacy and security norms are often too weak or even oppose value-based design, putting engineers in conflict with their organizations. Our data indicate that it is largely engineers' individually perceived responsibility as well as a few character traits that make a positive difference to Ethical System development.

  • Co-operative Cyberethics for a Sustainable Information Society
    2014
    Co-Authors: Robert Bichler, Christian Fuchs, Celina Raffl
    Abstract:

    Social self-organization means that there is a mutual productive interconnection of practices of human actors and social structures. Structures both enable and constrain social actions. This idea corresponds to saying that social Systems are re-creative, i.e. self-organizing social Systems. Re-creativity is based on the creative activities of human beings. Social structures exist in and through the productive practices and relationships of human actors. Ethics forms a subSystem of society that is connected to other subSystems such as economy, technology, polity, religion, culture, ecology, science, medicine, etc. Hence if a human being acts in the Ethical System of society, (s)he also acts in another societal System. This results in a differentiation of the Ethical System and of subSystems such as economical ethics, technological ethics, political ethics, religious ethics, cultural ethics, ecological ethics, sccientific ethics, medical ethics, etc. There are two types of self-organization: 1. A synchronous one where a System reproduces itself by permanently reproducing and maintaining its elements and hence its unity (autopoiesis). 2. A diachronic one where a System enters a phase of instability, chaos, an
