Cover Story: The issue of a lack of consideration for professional responsibility by software engineers (SEs) presents major challenges and concerns to software development users. With the emergence of technologies such as artificial intelligence and the internet of things, the risk of ignoring ethical responsibility is unimaginable. Understanding the perceptions of key stakeholders regarding ethical responsibility in software development is an imperative step in preventing ethical risks. This research paper shows that ethical responsibility in software development is not limited to software engineers, but all key stakeholders such as users, management and software project team members who have an ethical responsibility proportional to their contribution to software development work.
