Ethical issues in computer science refer to questions about what is right and wrong when using technology and computers. These issues often involve considering how actions or decisions impact people and society. For example, they include thinking about privacy when using personal data, ensuring fairness in algorithms, and the effects of automation on jobs. Ethical issues are important because they help us understand the responsibilities we have when creating and using technology, making sure it benefits everyone and doesn't cause harm.
