Ethical and Security Challenges in Scientific Computing: Addressing Emerging Issues

Abstract

The paper explores the ethics and security issues that are part of scientific computing in particular, through emerging technologies. Through qualitative analysis of case studies and expert interviews, it addresses five sub-research questions: ethical considerations in data usage; security vulnerabilities and their impact on scientific integrity; governance models for ethical oversight; ethical challenges caused by emerging technologies; and mitigation strategies for risk exposure. The findings call for comprehensive ethical standards, robust security protocols, adaptable ethical frameworks, effective governance models, and risk management approaches to be integrated as a whole. This study has contributed to the discourse by outlining practical recommendations toward responsibly navigating this dynamic and increasingly complex ethical and security landscape for scientific computing.
