This thread is for live-tweeting the ethics session at #SIGCSE2021. FIVE papers at @SIGCSE_TS this year about ethics in computer science education! 🧵
First up: "How Students in Computing-Related Majors Distinguish Social Implications of Technology" by Diandra Prioleau et al. at University of Florida.
They presented students with scenarios about AI technology (e.g. recidivism algorithms)...

... and found that their participants could spot social implications, but frequently missed issues of systemic discrimination. But surprisingly: About half of students had never heard of these issues, which points to a gap in computing curriculum. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/34…
In a few hours (evening for me, morning in India!) I'm giving a keynote for the COMPUTE conference on integrating ethics into computer science education. Including some links in this thread to papers and other things I will reference in that talk! Perfect for #CSEdWeek2020. :)
First: Why integrate ethics into technical CS classes? It's one way to change the culture towards recognizing that ethics is an integral part of the practice of computing, and not a specialization. howwegettonext.com/what-our-tech-…
