SC20 BoF: Ethics in HPC
Note: Due to COVID-19 the BoF program was significantly reduced and the BoF on Ethics in HPC did not take place.
This follow-up to the broadly attended SC19 BoF will expand the conversation related to ethical considerations in the field of HPC. We will continue and expand the discussion including various aspects of ethics, focusing on the role of HPC. This will include ethical behavior, societal norms to foster a pathway to ethically aligned design of HPC solutions and autonomous/intelligent systems that do not intentionally perpetuate global inequality. By furthering this dialogue, we can work to ensure the HPC community is advancing its commitment to technology for the benefit of all of humanity.
