Ethical Frameworks Explained Simply

A single ethics course from Harvard has drawn over 7 million learners worldwide. Now, drop into three tense meetings: a car company weighing a deadly defect, a tech team debating user data, and an AI lab facing bias. In each room, “right” means something radically different.

In each of those rooms, people are not just disagreeing about “what to do” — they’re quietly using different mental playbooks for deciding what *counts* as a good decision. One engineer is tallying harms and benefits like a careful budget. A lawyer is asking, “Are we allowed to do this at all?” A product lead is wondering, “What would a decent, trustworthy person choose here?” Same case, three invisible scoreboards.

This series is about making those hidden playbooks visible.
