Abstract
In the current computerised society, where state-of-the-art information and communication technologies (ICT) such as artificial intelligence pervade every corner of economy and society, ICT engineers’ responsibility, in particular accountability, for computing has been becoming ambiguous more and more. This would cause a serious situation in which no one takes any responsibility for the development and operation of ICT-based information systems, even though the systems can provide harmful impacts for individuals and society. To cope with this situation, ICT professionalism suitable for the contemporary ICT environment should be established, and a wide variety of stakeholders involved in ICT development and usage have to build their professional attitudes towards computing.
