“There appears to be a conflict of interest just based on the best — best ethics laws that are out there,” said Hurt. “And, so, if we’re talking about an ethics standard, you have to ensure that there is no appearance and that the core principle of impartiality is shown throughout the process,” she added. “Your sister-in-law being the center of a decision is a conflict of interest.”

The take-home cars are not necessarily an ethical question, said Davina Hurt, Ethics Center director, government ethics.

“The fact that they want to do more than neighboring counties for their employees can be heralded as competitive compensation practices to retain quality public service,” Hurt said. “It appears to be a matter of policy rather than ethics.”

In his latest article for Forbes, Guadalupe Hayes-Mota, director, bioethics shows how building an ethical business from day one can be a strategic advantage that attracts partners, talent and investors who care about long-term impact.

Every decision—from which disease to target to how data is used—has moral implications. Yet ethics is too often treated as a compliance box to check rather than a source of innovation and trust. Building an ethical business from day one can be a strategic advantage that attracts partners, talent and investors who care about long-term impact.

U.S. refugee assistance programs have helped millions of displaced families all over the world, reducing maternal and infant mortality, providing life-saving medications, teacher training, and basic primary and secondary education. The costs of such assistance to our nation were miniscule, only 0.0012 percent of U.S. spending per year, according to an analysis by J.R.S. But deep cuts to programs such as Migration and Refugee Assistance and International Disaster Assistance will drastically reduce life-saving efforts. And the Trump administration’s cancellation of nearly $5 billion in foreign aid already approved by Congress imperils not only global health and stability but also trust in the United States to honor its commitments.

Brain-training apps have become one of the most visible interventions marketed to older adults, but the record regarding results are inconclusive.

“These findings highlight brain-training apps as a promising, evidence-based, and scalable approach to help slow cognitive decline in older adults with MCI,” Hayes-Mota notes. “But the improvements are domain-specific and we don’t yet know how long they last.”

AI is making mistakes faster than humans can catch, and humans are using LLMs against each other to try and identify errors. Reworked says, relying on that alone is dangerous, and that while machines might track responsibility, they can't own it.

Senior Director, Leadership Ethics, Ann Skeet says, “Ultimately, some one person and the company that person works for will bear responsibility for the failures of AI systems."

The stakes extend beyond legal exposure, Skeet warned. "The legal battles that will be launched, if we settle for having AIs overseeing AI, will be legion, but the ethical considerations are even greater."

"...there are lessons to draw from this experience that start by asking our Jewish leaders to ask themselves ethical questions (rooted in Santa Clara’s Markkula Center for Applied Ethics)."

A small sector of Silicon Valley is trying to live forever — literally — and Catholics are actively engaging with this growing ideology, reports the National Catholic Register.

Brian Patrick Green, director of technology ethics said ultimately, in his estimation, the techno-immortalist movement is an attempt to remake the world without God. Their ideology is their religion — which limits the effectiveness of dialogue.

“There’s nothing wrong with extending human life. This is literally something that Jesus tells us to do. He tells us, ‘Go forth healing all kinds of injuries.’ … There’s obviously an opportunity here. There’s a hunger out there in society. [But] we need to look at this from the outside with great skepticism,” Green told the Register.
