    Dr. Leslie Seawright on the Ethics of Document Design

    Dr. Leslie Seawright discusses her new article, co-authored with Amy Hodges and Timothy Ponce, "'Is This Ethical?' New Data on the Ethical Principles and Practices of Document Design." The study updates Sam Dragga's classic 1996 study by asking for participant evaluations of the ethics of hypothetical situations, some taken from the Dragga study and some added for contemporary issues. The results indicate how perspectives on ethics have and have not changed in almost 30 years.  Seawright is conducting another follow up study about the ethics of AI.
