Hello, I am an undergraduate psychology student and I am seriously thinking of joining a cognitive science MsC. I like the idea of programming and I've enjoyed the more philosophical modules on cognitive science and theory of mind that my degree offers. It seems like an interesting intersection between multiple domains of Science.

I guess the only thing that concerns me is the ethicality of it. Does this field actually help the people or the companies trying to take advantage of them? I certainly do not want to contribute to the predatory behaviour of some companies, especially in social media or in some cases AI. What are some career paths that actually contribute rather than take advantage of humans?
