Encouraging creative speculation could be an important part of teaching ethical thinking. Here are some exercises that I use in a tech ethics and policy class, based on #BlackMirror, with some other science fiction suggestions as well! #ethicalCS medium.com/@cfiesler/the-…
And if you’re not a fan of Black Mirror specifically, I recommend short fiction - @doctorow has a wealth of options! Novels, too. Snow Crash is a favorite of mine. (I’m also halfway through @Annaleen’s Autonomous & want to talk patent speculation. ;) )
One big picture takeaway: If you can think speculatively about the ethical implications of the technology that someone else might create in fifty years, you can think speculatively about the ethical implications of the technology that you might create next week.
Id share a Q: How can we teach tech in a way that helps supports the imperfect world instead of trying to ‘fix’ it?
Ethics is often frames as a hindrance to efficiency. When students are learning the value of making efficient systems… #EthicalCS
useful to think of cost in real world. Marginalized communities r usually who suffer most for the efficiency that tech enables #EthicalCS
