Assignment

Using the same Case Study Worksheet, perform the same analysis on a case involving some social media or online privacy situation. Keep in mind the topic must involve some moral or ethical conundrum.

Some examples would be using AI to generate posts or content and taking credit, any number of AI systems listening to you and using the information to generate search criteria, trolling, stalking, spreading misinformation, etc. One example would be the arrest of Douglass Mackey (aka Ricky Vaughn) for interfering in the 2016 election (look it up if you are interested). If you are uncertain what you have will work, ask the instructor. Just do not wait until Saturday or later to do so.

Case Study Worksheet

Case Study Title

Question I. Briefly what happened? Summarize the case.

Question II. Key Stakeholders and how they were negatively impacted: Discuss at least 4 major stakeholders (not stockholders, though the stockholders may be stakeholders). For each stakeholder, briefly explain the relationship with the company - why they are stakeholders and how were they impacted? You may use bullet points to summarize each stakeholder.

Question III. What was the final outcome? Include specific details such as prison, fines, termination, and for how many individuals. Make sure to cite your facts.

Question IV. Describe why you feel someone's actions were morally wrong? Using ethical systems discuss why these behaviors were morally right or wrong. Be sure to use keywords describing your moral base (consequentialist, care, duty, act utilitarian, prima facie duties, etc.) and why your compass would justify classifying the action as morally right or wrong. Be sure to document the resource(s) you use for the definition of the moral theory or theories.

Question V. Put yourself in a position of leadership: Describe what you would put in place that would have prevented this in the first place or keep it from happening again. Or, alternatively what rules would you would implement to justify the action. Discuss rules in the context of your leadership philosophy or ethical standard.
