This makes clear that all Code of Ethics apply to any form of technology as well. It is helpful to have a clear statement about technology, given the world that we live in. I wonder though, what about AI? Are there any areas in social work agencies that apply the use of AI in any form? If so, would the ethics change around that? In terms of how to use social media as it relates to my field placement is the use of apps to reach students with information and services about the center in which I intern.

This statement potentially raises a flag for me in terms of power structures and structural inequality. I feel it needs to be more clearly defined in the anticipation of a myriad of dilemmas and possible issues that arise. Does the agency automatically have a position of power? Also, I would think that if an ethical obligation conflicts with relevant laws and regulations could there be a possibility for legal liability ? As someone who is new to the social work field, I am curious to hear about cases where this Code of Ethics was applied and what the outcomes were.

Currently in my field placement we are going through a series of didactics on multicultural supervision. These informative sessions include all staff in a college Wellness Center. Because the college is located in a cultural diverse and historically black area, it is crucial to seek to promote knowledge about ethnic diversity, oppression, and cultural diversity. I am grateful that this is explicitly stated in the Code of Ethics as it is also a research and personal passion of mine to increase awareness, knowledge, action and allyship as it relates to cultural diversity in the clients and communities we serve as social workers.
