Assessment test Task Summary:Your small team of IT professionals has been tasked to prepare a submission for potential investors that allows them to understand the potential social, ethical and legal opportunities and risks of a technology-based product, selected from a list of topics provided at Topic List : Topic List The technology you select must be one of the following topics. If you want to consider a different technology you must ask the Unit Coordinator at least two weeks before the deadline, and if they agree, they will add the new technology to this list. Any reports on technologies not listed below will be penalised.

1. Traffic Decryptor. USB dongle that can be inserted into common network equipment (routers, switches, servers) that automatically captures and decrypts data passing through that equipment.
2. People Detector. AI software that has extremely high accuracy of identifying people using face and gait detection.
3. Intelligent Advertising. Electronic billboards or advertising signs in public places that can direct targeted advertising to passers-by based on analysing audio and video recordings. E.g. the sign \"hears\" (via speech recognition) you asked your friend about a restaurant and \"sees\" (via computer vision) your age, gender, dress, emotional state, and then produces an ad of a nearby \"relevant\" (based on its algorithms and data) restaurant.

Details:You have graduated from your degree and now work in a small tech start-up company with a small team of like-minded IT professionals. Potential investors are excited about the technology innovation you are developing, and see significant opportunity for financial growth. However the investors also place high importance on social responsibilities: although they want to make money, they also want their investments to make positive contributions to society (in fact, some investors may be prepared to lose money if the social contribution is significant). Your submission should consist of two main parts. First, you should produce an infographic or other graphical piece explaining the technology-based product being developed and the stakeholders in this technology. This infographic should convey this message using images and diagrams and should be quick and easy to read. The second part of your submission will be a report on the social impact of the technology-based product. It will detail the intellectual property protection you think is best for the product; discuss the opportunities/benefits that the technology within the product may bring; and will also discuss potential risks/drawbacks of the technology within the product. For both opportunities/benefits and risks/drawbacks, you should identify which stakeholders are involved, and should discuss at least two issues related to topics discussed during the term (e.g. privacy, censorship, employment, fake news etc), for a total of four topics. Your report should end by summarise the pros and cons of the technology and indicating how it and your proposed product makes a contribution to society (positive or negative). Assume the potential investors are the audience for the report and that they already have financial information about the development (that is, do not include financial opportunities/risks in the report). Focus on social, ethical or legal considerations, such as those covered in the unit, e.g. privacy, censorship, employment, cybercrime, information overload. References of an academic nature must be used to support the discussion. Format There is no mandatory format for the infographic, however consider the following guidelines:

• Include your name, student ID and the selected topic title.
• Break the graphic into sections that guide the reader.
• Have a flow between the information, leading to a conclusion.
• Focus on conveying the message graphically, rather than with large blocks of text.

There is no mandatory format for the report, however consider the following guidelines:

• Include your name, student ID and the selected topic title.
• Use section headings to guide the reader.
• There are no suggested or mandatory word limits. However as a guide, the intellectual property section may be about 1/2 a page to a page. The opportunities/benefits and risk/drawback sections may about 1 to 2 pages of text each. The final summary may be about 1/2 page. Focus on the quality of writing and providing clear and detailed explanations, rather than the quantity.
• You may use pictures if necessary (e.g. explaining the technology), however either draw your own picture or clearly acknowledge the author if using someone elses picture.

Submission You must submit one (1) Microsoft Word document (docx or doc) and one (1) image file You may embed your image as an appendix in your word document if you wish, and may also wish to include a link to a high-res version hosted on the Internet within your document.
