  This paper deals with the importance of developing codes of conduct for
practitioners--be it journalists, doctors, attorneys, or other
professions--that are encountering ethical issues when using computation, but
do not have access to any framework of reference as to how to address those. At
the same time, legal and technological developments are calling for
establishing such guidelines, as shown in the European Union's and the United
States' efforts in regulating a wide array of artificial intelligence systems,
and in the resurgence of rule-based models through 'neurosymbolic' AI, a hybrid
format that combines them with neural methods. Against this backdrop, we argue
for taking a design-inspired approach when encoding professional ethics into a
computational form, so as to co-create codes of conduct for computational
practice across a wide range of fields.
