Information Ethics

Information Ethics encompasses the social and ethical issues associated with all forms and aspects of information and computing technologies; including data collection/use, artificial intelligence, machine learning, social networks, robotics, and more. Northeastern is committed to developing technologies that are accessible and empowering, that promote justice and the social good, and that do so in ways that protect people’s privacy and autonomy. This commitment is manifest in the work done in our research centers, in our robust information ethics curriculum, and in our co-curricular and outreach programs.
