The ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct was updated last year in response to changes in the computing field over the past decades.
Catherine Flick of the ACM Committee on Professional Ethics said ethical responsibility is especially critical to artificial intelligence (AI) developers, as uncertainty surrounding machine learning techniques and uses could sow public distrust, especially with their integration into infrastructure.
Flick added that the ACM Code of Ethics must be holistically applied to artificial intelligence and machine learning applications.
