Re: Responsible AI, a new unit that oversees Ethical AI
"Copying company materials onto unsecured and unauthorised networks and devices is a breach of professional ethics. Including HR information (as alleged) makes instantly sackable even when the intent is good and in the company's interests."
It's certainly a breach of corporate policy. Whether it's a breach of ethics depends on the (ex)employee's motive for doing it. If doing it for revenge or profit, it's unethical. If doing it as a whistleblower, it's ethical. Either way, it's against corporate interests, so don't get caught. In the first case, don't get caught *ever*. In the second case, don't get caught until the docs are securely in the lawyers hands.
