Ethics Deconstruction in Agile Software Engineering

This poster presents a novel methodology to guide software engineers in developing ethically grounded software systems, ensuring that they proactively avoid ethical pitfalls such as bias and privacy violations. The proposed methodology is based on the concept of “deconstruction” originally conceptualized by philosopher Jacques Derrida [1]–[4]. It emphasizes a comprehensive approach to addressing ethical dilemmas, particularly in managing opposition within ethical disputes, where conflicting perspectives often arise.
