I do consider the ethical implications, of which there are many.
I think we are coding ourselves into dystopia - where technology will not be serving us, but we will be serving it. We might be there already.
Which 'governance structure'/'rule creating structure' is going to ensure that the moral elements are considered? Or do they simple wave through the legislation big corporations' lobbyists have written? Will big corporations' so-called the 'ethics committees' give us the moral outlook we need? (I don't think so - they are about justifying the unjustifiable, it seems to me.) What is better - that 10 people you are out of work, or that - as you say - someone else will implement this?
These questions are very hard to answer. There are lots of coders who will do whatever-it-is without hesitation.
Ultimately, I guess we will have to do as we each see fit. What I say: morality is a question for the individual, so how do you judge yourself? That is one way to guide oneself through the mire.
