👉 Forbidden computing refers to the use of computing technologies and techniques that are explicitly prohibited by law, ethical guidelines, or institutional policies, often due to their potential misuse or harmful consequences. This includes activities like hacking, cyber warfare, the development of autonomous weapons systems, and other forms of digital espionage or sabotage. These activities are often illegal under national and international laws, and their use can lead to severe legal penalties, including imprisonment. Additionally, organizations may implement strict policies against forbidden computing to protect sensitive data, intellectual property, and national security. The concept highlights the ongoing tension between technological advancement and the need to regulate its use for societal safety and ethical standards.
