Ethics in Technology Development

Your keyboard is a loaded weapon. We like to think technology is neutral, but every algorithm

you write picks a winner and a loser. It is not just about dodging the Computer Misuse Act or ticking

a GDPR box to avoid a fine. That is the bare minimum. The real test is

the gray zone. Just because you can scrape a million faces for an AI or track someone’s

location does not mean you should. The law is always chasing the tech, so the guardrails

are actually in your head. You have to decide if you are building a tool for freedom

or a cage for surveillance.
