SUMMARY:MS2F - Ethical and Societal Considerations Ensuring Trust in Scien
 tific Computing
DESCRIPTION:As more academic disciplines and industry users are leveraging
  computational methods and scientific computing, the time it takes for HPC
 -enabled insights to impact society is decreasing rapidly. However, advanc
 es in high performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI), a
 s well as the increasing complexity of these fields, raise concerns about 
 ensuring trust (with)in science. As a community, we recognise the temptati
 on to exploit ever-growing data volumes and observe new computational meth
 ods in action, even when the associated biases and side effects are not fu
 lly understood. Co-design for HPC can and should, in addition to technical
  desiderata, also include broader ethical aspects of scientific computing.
  For instance, global computing and networking infrastructure have a signi
 ficant environmental impact, both locally and globally. However, many stud
 ies usually only consider the operational life of a data centre, not the m
 anufacturing process or end-of-life environmental impact. We wish to discu
 ss how to incorporate ethics into all phases of scientific computing thus 
 making potential trade-offs explicit and highlighting the decisions leadin
 g to them. We will feature 3 speakers and end an in open discussion to exp
 lore questions of trust in science and the intersection with ethical and s
 ocietal concerns.\n\nIndividualist ethics and division of labor\n\nClassic
 al ethics takes persons as originators of action and thus ethical responsi
 bility. In evaluating actions it also takes persons to be able to have act
 ed differently. We find these principles codified in many professional eth
 ics codes. One example is the ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Condu...
