6、my department,said Wernher von Braun,the pioneer rocket scientist who worked after 1945,with equalenthusiasm,for NASA.Now a rather different mathematician,Hannah Fry,has called for aHippocratic Oath for scientists and technologists to help them carry constantly in their mindsthe ethical consequences
7、 of their work.This is a proposal that deserves serious consideration:ifit achieves nothing else,it will help to dispel the idea that technologies like softwaredevelopment are in themselves morally neutral,so that ethics,or morality,can be dealt with bysomeone else.Those who send the rockets up need
8、 to think carefully about where they mightcome down.There are three obvious issues with her plan.The first is Whose ethics?Whichrationality?There is no single,universal code of ethics to which all scientists around the worldsubscribe and the wars of the 20th century show how quickly many could be re

13、but these are limited.A revulsion among the workers at Google has so far stopped thecompany from cooperating with the US immigration service.It has not stopped its YouTubealgorithms from corrupting politics in Brazil.Any effective moral action must come fromcorporations as a whole,not just some of t
14、heir workers.But for all these drawbacks,this is still a worthwhile idea.The choice between individualand collective ethics is not either-or.Both are needed.The dominant ideal of the last decadeshas been boundless selfishness,both individual and corporate.Whatever helps to put limits onthat is not just desirable but essential.第4页备考咨询微信：bazhu250官方微博/微信公众号/知乎：挑灯成硕
