Abstract :After the 1940s, during developments in the studies of processing information with technology; automatons that can produce and make decisions without the need for constant human intervention have been included in many areas of life. Studies led by cybernetics and information sciences have also become influential in social sciences over time. The idea of automation, which aims to manage complex systems that affect many disciplines from production models related to the economy to thought systems and social theories, has shaped the information age on the information-machine axis and has also formed the basis of today\\\'s artificial intelligence systems. Cybernetic scientist Norbert Weiner predicts that the traditional social structure will change with automation and that this structure will communicate and interact more than other social models and that its needs will be different from traditional social structures. He calls the new social structure the second-degree cybernetic social structure. According to Weiner, the need of this cybernetic society is a system designed with ethical principles. This ethical system, which is vital for humans, must consist of certain principles. In a cybernetic society, automation threatens human life and value areas more than ever. The study addresses Wiener\\\'s complex cybernetic society understanding and the ethical needs of the information society it has created. In addition, the ethical problems and solutions sought by the intelligent tools of today\\\'s information society, artificial intelligence, softbots, and robots are discussed. In general, the study aims to provide a general framework for the second-degree cybernetic society structure that emerged with the information revolution and the information society and ethical discussions that this structure has created.
