SUMMARY:MS2F - Ethical and Societal Considerations Ensuring Trust in Scien
 tific Computing
DESCRIPTION:Organizer(s): Jakob Luettgau (INRIA), Nico Formanek (High-Perf
 ormance Computing Center Stuttgart), and Jay Lofstead (Sandia National Lab
 oratories)\n\nAs more academic disciplines and industry users are leveragi
 ng computational methods and scientific computing, the time it takes for H
 PC-enabled insights to impact society is decreasing rapidly. However, adva
 nces in high performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI),
  as well as the increasing complexity of these fields, raise concerns abou
 t ensuring trust (with)in science. As a community, we recognise the tempta
 tion to exploit ever-growing data volumes and observe new computational me
 thods in action, even when the associated biases and side effects are not 
 fully understood. Co-design for HPC can and should, in addition to technic
 al desiderata, also include broader ethical aspects of scientific computin
 g. For instance, global computing and networking infrastructure have a sig
 nificant environmental impact, both locally and globally. However, many st
 udies usually only consider the operational life of a data centre, not the
  manufacturing process or end-of-life environmental impact. We wish to dis
 cuss how to incorporate ethics into all phases of scientific computing thu
 s making potential trade-offs explicit and highlighting the decisions lead
 ing to them. We will feature 3 speakers and end an in open discussion to e
 xplore questions of trust in science and the intersection with ethical and
  societal concerns.\n\nAI Safety Practices for Responsible Computing in HP
 C\n\nInternational communities spanning government, industry, academia, an
 d nonprofits are eager to adopt AI systems. Technology Readiness Levels (T
 RLs), long used to assess technical maturity, are also sociotechnical indi
 cators that shape human confidence in emerging capabilities. This presenta

 -----------------\nOpen Discussion on Ethical and Societal Considerations 
 Ensuring Trust in Scientific Computing\n\nThis session will be an open dis
 cussion with a focus on ensuring trust in scientific computing through eth
 ical and societal lens. Participants are encouraged to ask questions, chal
 lenge perspectives, and contribute their experiences to foster a lively, i
 nterdisciplinary conversation. The session wil...\n\n\nJay Lofstead (Sandi

 \nScientific Computing and Data Infrastructure in Context\n\nThis talk wil
 l give an overview of scientific computing infrastructure in the context o
 f other major infrastructure, with a particular focus on energy and resear
 ch and education. Data centers in recent years became a major driver of th
 e world's total electricity usage, which is projected to double b...\n\n\n
 Jakob Luettgau (INRIA)\n---------------------\nIndividualist Ethics and Di
 vision of Labor\n\nClassical ethics takes persons as originators of action
  and thus ethical responsibility. In evaluating actions it also takes pers
 ons to be able to have acted differently. We find these principles codifie
 d in many professional ethics codes. One example is the ACM Code of Ethics
  and Professional Condu...\n\n\nNico Formánek (HLRS)\n\nDomain: Chemistry
