ETHICS AND TECHNOLOGY
Summary
Ethics are described as principles that are used to state what is right and what is wrong.
They help comprehend and resolve moral issues. Ethics promotes confidentiality, privacy and
prevents dishonesty and conflict, resulting in unapproved access to computer networks. This
paper provides a summary of three articles by Glaser "Palantir," Oberman "human right," and
Latonero "Stop Surveillance Humanitarianism" while analyzing the common theme of ethics and
technology.
The article by latonero, titled "stop surveillance humanitarianism," presents a case of an
ethical dilemma. The UN world food program required biometric data such as facial scans and
iris to precedent vital aid to many civilians in Yemen. Houthi rebelled, thus threatening many
lives. The report showed that food allocated to aid these people was diverted to support those
who rebelled, which resulted in Houthi officials being demanded to allow the deployment of
biometric technologies such as digital fingerprints and scans to monitor suspected corruption
during the time of food distribution. In turn, the Houthis blocked food delivery while asserting
and painting the idea of biometric efforts as intelligence operations intending to access citizens'
data based on beneficiaries of the aids. The organization, in turn, suspended the provision of food
to the starving populace. The staff claimed that technological solutions are highly tempting as
biometric deployment would contribute to forms of surveillance humanitarianism that exacerbate
security and privacy risks. In other words, surveillance humanitarianism implies the rapid and
vast data systems used by aiding institutions inadvertently augment the vulnerability of
individuals' needs. Similarly, these forms of surveillance humanitarianism result in ethical
