SUMMARY:MS2F - Ethical and Societal Considerations Ensuring Trust in Scien
 tific Computing
DESCRIPTION:Access the recording\n\nOrganizer(s): Jakob Luettgau (INRIA), 
 Nico Formanek (High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart), and Jay Lofst
 ead (Sandia National Laboratories)\n\nAs more academic disciplines and ind
 ustry users are leveraging computational methods and scientific computing,
  the time it takes for HPC-enabled insights to impact society is decreasin
 g rapidly. However, advances in high performance computing (HPC) and artif
 icial intelligence (AI), as well as the increasing complexity of these fie
 lds, raise concerns about ensuring trust (with)in science. As a community,
  we recognise the temptation to exploit ever-growing data volumes and obse
 rve new computational methods in action, even when the associated biases a
 nd side effects are not fully understood. Co-design for HPC can and should
 , in addition to technical desiderata, also include broader ethical aspect
 s of scientific computing. For instance, global computing and networking i
 nfrastructure have a significant environmental impact, both locally and gl
 obally. However, many studies usually only consider the operational life o
 f a data centre, not the manufacturing process or end-of-life environmenta
 l impact. We wish to discuss how to incorporate ethics into all phases of 
 scientific computing thus making potential trade-offs explicit and highlig
 hting the decisions leading to them. We will feature 3 speakers and end an
  in open discussion to explore questions of trust in science and the inter
 section with ethical and societal concerns.\n\nAI Safety Practices for Res
 ponsible Computing in HPC\n\nInternational communities spanning government
 , industry, academia, and nonprofits are eager to adopt AI systems. Techno
 logy Readiness Levels (TRLs), long used to assess technical maturity, are 
 also sociotechnical indicators that shape human confidence in emerging cap
 abilities. This presentation revi...\n\n\nElaine M. Raybourn (University o
 f Central Florida)\n---------------------\nIndividualist Ethics and Divisi
 on of Labor\n\nClassical ethics takes persons as originators of action and
  thus ethical responsibility. In evaluating actions it also takes persons 
 to be able to have acted differently. We find these principles codified in
  many professional ethics codes. One example is the ACM Code of Ethics and
  Professional Condu...\n\n\nNico Formánek (HLRS)\n---------------------\nS
 cientific Computing and Data Infrastructure in Context\n\nThis talk will g
 ive an overview of scientific computing infrastructure in the context of o
 ther major infrastructure, with a particular focus on energy and research 
 and education. Data centers in recent years became a major driver of the w
 orld's total electricity usage, which is projected to double b...\n\n\nJak

  Societal Considerations Ensuring Trust in Scientific Computing\n\nThis se
 ssion will be an open discussion with a focus on ensuring trust in scienti
 fic computing through ethical and societal lens. Participants are encourag
 ed to ask questions, challenge perspectives, and contribute their experien
 ces to foster a lively, interdisciplinary conversation. The session wil...
