Abstract

This research examines ethical issues in computational linguistics that can be applied to national defense by analyzing philosophical and security language. The increasing use of language contexts, such as intelligence and communication data analysis, raises ethical and philosophical challenges related to privacy, control, and accuracy. This research aims to identify and analyze ethical issues, especially in the use of computational linguistics in defense applications, as well as their implications for the protection of individual rights and privacy. This method involves reviewing ethical technology references and analyzing the philosophical design of language and security. Deontological and utilitarian ethical theories are applied to evaluate the moral impacts and consequences of using the language of technology in a defense context. The results demonstrate that using linguistics in defense can pose privacy risks, misuse of data, and the potential for significant bias in decision-making. This often involves collecting data from multiple sources, creating challenges to ensure data is managed ethically and responsibly. Conclusion: This shows the need for a solid ethical and regulatory framework to ensure technology's fair and responsible use in context defense. Implications of the findings include the need for ongoing dialogue between technology developers, policymakers, and the public to mitigate ethical risks and ensure that application technologies comply with critical and security principles. With a comprehensive and responsible approach, technological linguistics can improve military safety and effectiveness without compromising individual rights and privacy.
