Abstract

Bilgi, malumat/bilişim dahil olmak üzere her türlü görsel, işitsel ve metin verilerinin bilişim teknolojileri aracılığıyla işlenmesini, hesaplamalı akıllı teknolojilerin temel kavramlarını, ilkelerini, değerlerini inceleyen bilişim etiği, çağdaş felsefede bilişim felsefesinin aksiyoloji alanı ile ilgidir. Bilişim felsefesi bağlamında bilişim etiği ve tartışmalı konuları ele alan bu makale, bilişim teknolojilerinin geliştirilmesinde, kullanımında ve insan-makine etkileşiminde neşet eden etik sorunları incelemektedir. Makalede, evvela bilişim etiğinin arka planını oluşturan bilişim devrimine ve etkilerine açıklık getirilmektedir. İkinci olarak, bilişim etiğinin tanımı ve sınıflandırılmasına yer verilmektedir. Üçüncü olarak tartışmalı etik konuların süreç içindeki evrimini ortaya koymak adına bilişim etiğinin bir disiplin olarak ortaya çıkışı tarihsel kronoloji içinde açıklanmaktadır. Son olarak, bilişim etiği konularının başında gelen fikri mülkiyet, mahremiyet, ağ oluşturma, anonimlik, siber zorbalık, güvenlik, yapay zekâ etiği, manipülasyon, antropomorfizm sorunu, internet etiği, bilgisayar oyunları ve etik konularına yer verilmektedir. Bilişim teknolojilerinin sosyal ve ekonomik yaşam, kültür alanlarına entegre olması, insanın anlamlı bir hayat yaşaması için aksiyolojik edinimlere olan ihtiyacı arttırmıştır. Bireysel- toplumsal, ekonomik ve değerler yaşantımıza etkilerini anlamak için bilişim felsefesi ve etiği çalışmalarını daha fazla gündeme getirmek büyük bir öneme sahiptir. Bu nedenle bilişim felsefesi ve bilişim etiği vurgusu ile okuyucunun bilişim etiği konuları hakkında genel bir anlayışa sahip olması amaçlamaktadır.
