Friends!
What are your go-to sources of examples / case studies of tech gone wrong (for teaching ethics)?
Bonus points if the start of the story isn't obviously bad to everyone.
Personal examples also welcome!

One of my go-to personal examples is how I frequently can't put my full legal first name into databases (it's Chu Sern Joel) bc. it's "too long".
Recent example:
https://twitter.com/Electric_Genie/status/1493685580328230918(subclass of issues where sustainability isn't a first-order concern from the start)
Sharing some sources I received from my amazing @iSchoolUMD colleagues:
* scu.edu/ethics/focus-a…
* datasociety.net/library/data-e…
* scu.edu/ethics/focus-a…

And a *positive* ex.! Audit found racial bias against Black patients in health risk algo, bc it used proxy of health costs (but less $$ is spent on Black patients for ~= health need).
Reformulating to not rely on proxy eliminated bias.
