Its pretty much in the title. In university I really didn't pay attention in our Ethics class because it focused on patents and Therac-25 studies, and I feel like with the way things are going as a software developer, we should have a clearer understanding of the philosophy and impact of ethical ramifications besides "AI bad," and I saw this as someone who sees Generative AI as very bad. Any recommendations on courses, books, videos, anything; would be great. Thanks.

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/ is a good place to start.

I highly recommend Phillip Rogaway's The Moral Character of Cryptographic Work even if you aren't interested in cryptography specifically, but especially if you are.

I have "A Gift of Fire" that was recommended to me. It's pretty good, lots of thought experiments, really laying down the fact that as engineers we need to know what our contributions can cause.
