Responsible Computing Research: Ethics and Governance of Computing Research and its Applications

Completed

Topics

Computing technology is increasingly woven into our personal and professional lives, physical infrastructure, and societal fabric. Ethical concerns arise where computing technologies lead to undesirable outcomes such as an erosion of personal privacy, the spread of false information and propaganda, biased or unfair decision making, disparate socioeconomic impacts, or diminished human agency. This study will identify ethical principles and practices that research funders, research-performing institutions, and individual researchers can use to formulate, conduct, and evaluate research and associated activities responsibly. It will also address how these principles and practices can be promulgated and adopted by the computing research community.
