BSL AI Glossary - Ethics definition


Translation: Ethics is the principles and values that help us decide what is right or wrong, fair or unfair, and what is considered respectful. For example, an organisation might use hearing people to research sign language. They may appear as experts and present their work as valid. But if deaf people were not involved in the research, this raises questions about whether the decision to exclude deaf people was ethical.
