1. Discuss the major concerns users have about data collection in digital environments. How
do these concerns differ across different demographics, and what measures can
companies take to address them?
2. Explain the role of transparency in data collection. How does transparency (or the lack of
it) impact user trust in digital platforms? Provide real-world examples to support your
answer.
3. What are the ethical dilemmas associated with targeted advertising and data profiling?
Discuss the balance between personalization and user privacy with relevant case studies.
4. Privacy policies are often lengthy and complex. Analyze their impact on user behavior
and trust. Should companies be required to simplify them, and if so, how?

5. Why is it important to integrate ethical considerations in the design and development of

new technologies? Discuss the role of ethics in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine
learning with examples.
6. Compare and contrast ethical technology regulations in different countries. How do
frameworks such as GDPR, CCPA, and other global policies shape ethical technology
practices?
7. Ethics committees and oversight boards are increasingly used in tech companies to ensure
responsible innovation. Discuss their role and effectiveness in ensuring ethical decision-
making.

8. IoT devices collect vast amounts of personal data. Discuss the ethical challenges of IoT
in everyday life, including security risks, data ownership issues, and potential misuse of
personal information.
9. Smart cities rely on IoT technology for efficiency and sustainability. How can ethical
considerations be incorporated into the design and implementation of smart city
technologies? Discuss with relevant examples.
10. What strategies can policymakers and organizations use to balance innovation with
privacy protection in IoT regulation? Analyze different approaches and their potential
impact on society.

11. Data breaches and misuse of personal information have become common concerns.
Analyze the impact of high-profile data breaches on user trust and company reputation.
How can organizations regain trust after such incidents?
12. Discuss the ethical responsibilities of companies that collect and store large amounts of
user data. What best practices should they follow to ensure ethical data management?

ethical challenges associated with social media data collection and usage. Provide
examples from real-world cases.
15. How does surveillance capitalism impact user privacy and autonomy? Discuss its ethical
implications with reference to major tech companies.
16. AI-driven decision-making is increasingly used in hiring, law enforcement, and
healthcare. What ethical concerns arise from algorithmic bias, and how can they be
addressed?
17. Some experts argue that ethical guidelines in technology development should be legally
enforced rather than voluntary. Discuss the pros and cons of legal enforcement of ethical
standards in technology.
18. What role should corporate social responsibility (CSR) play in ensuring ethical
technology practices? Discuss how major tech companies incorporate (or fail to
incorporate) CSR into their operations.

19. IoT devices, such as smart home assistants and wearables, continuously collect personal
data. What privacy and security challenges do these technologies pose, and how can they
be mitigated?
20. Autonomous vehicles rely on vast amounts of data collection and real-time decision-
making. Analyze the ethical implications of self-driving cars, particularly in situations
involving risk to human life.
