'''Information ethics''' is the field that investigates the ethical issues arising from the development and application of information technologies. It provides a critical framework for considering moral issues concerning informational [[privacy]], moral agency (e.g. whether artificial agents may be moral), new environmental issues (especially how agents should one behave in the [[infosphere]]), problems arising from the life-cycle (creation, collection, recording, distribution, processing, etc.) of information (especially ownership and copyright, [[digital divide]]). Information Ethics is therefore strictly related to the fields of [[computer ethics]] <ref>[[Luciano Floridi]] (1999).

'''Jessica Lucas''' (born [[September 24]], [[1985]]) is a Canadian actress. She is known for her role as Lily Ford in ''[[Cloverfield]]'', which was released in January 2008.

Dilemmas regarding the life of information are becoming increasingly important in a society that is defined as "the information society". Information transmission and literacy are essential concerns in establishing an ethical foundation that promotes fair, equitable, and responsible practices. Information ethics broadly examines issues related to ownership, access, privacy, security, and community.


==Biography==
Information technology affects fundamental rights involving copyright protection, intellectual freedom, accountability, and security.
Lucas was born and raised in [[Vancouver]], [[British Columbia]] to a White mother and a Black father. She has been acting since she was only seven years old, receiving professional training with Children's Theatre Arts. She earned theatre credits in local productions of "Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs," "Grease," "Cinderella," "Mousetrap" and "Music Medley." She was also a series regular on the popular Canadian teen show ''[[Edgemont]]'', along with [[Kristin Kreuk]] and [[Grace Park (actress)|Grace Park]].


Lucas joined the cast of ''[[CSI: Crime Scene Investigation]]'' in its 2007 season, playing a new character, Ronnie Lake. The character, once a temporary "band aid" to replace [[Sara Sidle]], has been announced as a recurring character on the show.
Professional codes offer a basis for making ethical decisions and applying ethical solutions to situations involving information provision and use which reflect an organization’s commitment to responsible information service. Evolving information formats and needs require continual reconsideration of ethical principles and how these codes are applied. Considerations regarding information ethics influence “personal decisions, professional practice, and [[public policy]]”<ref>E. Elrod and M. Smith (2005). "Information Ethics", in ''Encyclopedia of Science, Technology, and Ethics'', ed. by [[Carl Mitcham]]. Vol. 2: D-K (1004-1011). Detroit: Macmillan Reference USA.</ref>. Therefore, ethical analysis must provide a framework to take into consideration “many, diverse domains” (ibid.) regarding how information is distributed.
Lucas currently resides in Vancouver.
