The Computer Ethics Institute is part and parcel of the Brookings Information Technology Services, a division of the world-famous Brookings Institution in Washington D.C.. Tracing its origins back to 1916, the Brookings Institution is often at the fore of public policy research and discourse.

Back in 1992, Dr. Ramon Barquin, both founder and head of the Computer Ethics Institute, as well as President and CEO of Barquin International, and formerly an executive at IBM, presented a paper on computer ethics, and the need for a code of honour - the Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics.

Out of this paper came, in fact, “The Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics”, and here they are:

1. Thou Shalt Not Use A Computer To Harm Other People.

2. Thou Shalt Not Interfere With Other People’s Computer Work.


3. Thou Shalt Not Snoop Around In Other People’s Computer Files.

4. Thou Shalt Not Use A Computer To Steal.

5. Thou Shalt Not Use A Computer To Bear False Witness.

6. Thou Shalt Not Copy Or Use Proprietary Software For Which You have Not Paid.

7. Thou Shalt Not Use Other People’s Computer Resources Without Authorization Or Proper Compensation.

8. Thou Shalt Not Appropriate Other People’s Intellectual Output.

9. Thou Shalt Think About The Social Consequences Of The Program You Are Writing Or The System You Are Designing.

10. Thou Shalt Always Use A Computer In Ways That Insure Consideration And Respect For Your Fellow Humans.
