1) How can technology serve to promote or restrict human rights?
From a practical perspective, technology can help move the human rights
agenda forward. For instance, the use of satellite data can monitor the flow of
displaced people; artificial intelligence can assist with image recognition to gather
data on rights abuses; and the use of forensic technology can reconstruct crime
scenes and hold perpetrators accountable.
Even if it had many uses it also has many down points. For example, it could
make many people unemployed if people in factories are replaced with machines
and the right even though humans have the right to work; arterial intelligence
could affect human privacy by hacking in to their profile and system with out
privileges; and each time we are getting loser to the emerging technologies we are
getting ourselves vulnerable to the effects of the emerging technologies.
2) What are the five basic principles in professional ethics?
The five basic principles are integrity, objectivity, professional competence,
confidentiality and professional behavior – establish the standard of behavior
expected of a professional accountant (PA) and it reflects the profession's
recognition of its public interest responsibility.

Know the importance of accountability and trust in emerging technologies.
Identify the threats and challenges we face in developing and utilizing
emerging technologies.
4) What are the common ethical rules that must be applied in all technologies?
 Keep Ethics in the Spotlight—and Out of the Compliance Box
 Highlight the Human Lives and Interests behind the Technology
 Consider Downstream (and Upstream and Lateral) Risks for Technologies

6) What are the challenges of using emerging technologies such as big data,
Artificial intelligence and Internet of Things?
A) IoT security
IoT security includes access to sensitive data, sabotage or hacked devices, and
botnets. It holds confidential and sensitive information and if system breach occurs
it could be fatal.
B) Automation
A lot of businesses try to automate repetitive tasks with the intent to improve
employee productivity. Some automation solutions can result in greatly increased
network traffic. Another aspect of these solutions is the maintenance and
monitoring of the automation software. Whether it is an off the shelf product or a
custom solution, IT will need to know how to monitor and troubleshoot the
system.
C) Cloud
The cloud is like a giant storage in the sky which could store millions of terabyte
worth of data from different places in the internet. The cloud right at this time
holds millions of data that could be personal or work related. If someone was able
to brake into the cloud, they have the potential to do any thing with the
information they acquire.
D) Artificial intelligence and machine learning
Many organizations are utilizing some form of Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine
Learning (ML). There will be a time when Artificial intelligence reaches to the point
where it could think like a huma being and could create conditions and situations
not comfortable for human beings.
