summary
Defines computer ethics as practical guardrails and gives concrete fixes: audit crash-test baselines (women show 22.1% higher head injury risk, legs ~80% higher), predate policy for models like gen craft, Hot Pot Ai, DALL·E (noting DALL·E public 2021, policy only Aug 2023), run premortems and recruit non‑traditional experts, apply ACM code of ethics, bake accessibility (curb‑cut effect) into launch criteria after a Twitter thread flags an inaccessible site, and reports a 75% decrease in racial profiling after Nextdoor redesign.
