Artificial intelligence, decision support systems, robotics, human-machine interfaces, virtual worlds & interactive entertainment tools, Industry 4.0, digitalization are products created under the responsibility of informaticians. In the last three years, a total of 56,367 new students have enrolled in universities and colleges in Turkey in the field of informatics sciences (Information, Informatics and Computing). This number is increasing every year. In other words, the number of informaticians who produce and develop these technologies is increasing in our country as in the world.

These technologies developed by informaticians have changed the way of life of many people, production methods have changed. However, ethical problems have emerged in the development and use of these systems and the ethical responsibility of informaticians has begun to be questioned. Every informatician is responsible for his/her own product, and due to this responsibility, it has become inevitable for students studying informatics to be educated on "ethics".

In fact, the issue of responsibility concerns everyone who produces, sells or provides services. The degree of responsibility varies depending on the type of activity. However, we expect every professional, whether a doctor, teacher, journalist, politician, scientist, laboratory technician, carpenter, postman or bus driver, to be an expert in their work, to meet the expectations of customers or users, to be flexible and forward-thinking.

Expertise, the professionalism of the informatician, is an important ethical element. Errors in design and/or implementation often cause a system to fail or not be adequately protected against malware attacks. Both can have potentially fatal consequences. Therefore, introducing ethical standards into informatics education means first and foremost raising awareness of good software and enabling students to produce it. The criteria for good software should be taught to students in an intensive and repetitive way. When developing software, it is important to consider not only the minimum requirements for functionality and security, but also all conceivable abuses. The minimum requirements for security must be met and abuse must be prevented.

An important condition for good software is transparency. Even if the result of a program cannot be determined without the help of a computer, its operation must be understandable! However, today's programs are becoming more and more powerful and the algorithms used more and more complex. For example, modern operating systems are based on tens of millions of lines of source code, they contain stochastic elements, the solution is multidimensional. Like artificial neural networks or genetic algorithms. The stochastic elements and the multidimensionality of the solution make it significantly harder to understand how complex algorithms work. All these programs produce non-linear dependencies on the system's response. Unfortunately, human "linear thinking" often makes it difficult to understand how the algorithm works. Therefore, during studies it is important to develop a greater understanding of nonlinear behavior, multidimensional problems and the complexity of processes. This requires concentration in physics and mathematics, among other subjects.

Especially nowadays, when artificial intelligence methods are penetrating more and more into all areas of life, generally known and recognized standards/norms and laws are necessary to ensure that information technologies do not get out of control. These standards, rules and laws should be adequately covered in the education of informatics students.

If we want to trust the tools used in everyday life in areas such as energy, transportation, food, health, communication, etc., we need to demand a high level of expertise, responsibility and foresight, especially from people working in the informatics sector, and we need to support this through the continuous teaching of ethical values.
