👉 Evil engineering refers to the deliberate misuse or manipulation of engineering principles and technologies for malicious purposes, often causing harm, destruction, or exploitation. This can manifest in various ways, such as designing systems that are inherently unsafe, exploiting vulnerabilities for cyberattacks, or creating technologies that infringe on privacy and civil liberties. For instance, the development of autonomous weapons that can operate without human oversight, or the creation of sophisticated surveillance tools that enable mass monitoring and control, exemplify how engineering can be twisted into tools of oppression and violence. The intent behind such actions is to gain power, control, or profit at the expense of others, highlighting the ethical and moral responsibilities that engineers must uphold to prevent such misuse.
