Ethics question:
Apple introduced http://www.techinsider.io/iphone-night-shift-blue-light-affects-your-brain-and-body-2016-4 . If Apple would have information about the sleeping habits of it's users via the Apple Watch. Would it be ethical for Apple to use that health data to inform decisions about how it doesn f.lux style color changes? Would it be ethical if it uses other information from the Care Kit for that decision without explicitely asking for it (of course the terms of condidtions that noboby reads would include information)?
Especially in the context of Facebook getting criticized for running experiments on it's uses ( http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2014/06/28/facebook-manipulated-689003-users-emotions-for-science/#5ef08eed704d ) I think the related ethical questions become more and more important.
Is there any professional work done in the area of the surrounding ethics?
excellent questions; I doubt they are very likely to be bound ethically, it would be hard for them to be bound ethically as well. could slow down their innovation.
Ideally they should be doing what is in the best interest for people. it's hard to say what that is.
I don't know of any professional things being done in this area.
