Here's an exercise from this #ethics in #datascience course.
A murder has been recorded on an Amazon echo device in a home. Given the participants haven't explicitly consented to the recording is it ethical (ignoring legality for the moment) for it to be passed to police?
This feels like a trick question; if you say yes then why not record everything always in case a crime is accidentally recorded? If no, then you are possibly preventing a crime being prosecuted
