Next, to help ensure ethical data science projects, CRISP-DM is enhanced to minimize ethical risks. This refinement offers viable and specific work actions for data science practitioners. Furthermore, future research to integrate this enhanced CRISP-DM with a collaboration framework such as Scrum or Data Driven Scrum (DDS) is proposed to enable better coordination and efficient testing before final deployment of data science system.","PeriodicalId":203527,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Symposium on Ethics in Engineering, Science, and Technology (ETHICS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121733766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Marino, AJung Moon","doi":"10.1109/ETHICS57328.2023.10155081","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ETHICS57328.2023.10155081","url":null,"abstract":"Would the world have seen less AI-related scandals if more AI companies operated as co-operatives? As a response to multiple high profile tech scandals within the last decade, there has been an increased call for introducing more accountability in the AI industry. However, it is unclear to what degree the proposed efforts have been or will be effective in practice. The question remains whether these incremental, multi-stakeholder AI ethics efforts are in fact trying to address a fundamentally systemic issue inherent to the existing corporate power structure. As an attempt to address this question, we gain an understanding of the major themes in high profile AI-related catastrophes in the last four years (2018–2021) through an inductive media analysis. We then investigate how the principle of democratic gov-ernance and distributive executive power - core to co-operative organization structure - could have prevented or mitigated the contributing factors of the reported events. We find that the vast majority (71%) of the recent AI ethics scandals are not the result of a lack of knowledge or tools, but attributed to power dynamics that hinder the ability of internal stakeholders from taking action. We present the co-operative governance structure as a possible mitigating solution to addressing future AI ethics catastrophes, and provide a critical look at practical challenges inherent to AI co-operatives.","PeriodicalId":203527,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Symposium on Ethics in Engineering, Science, and Technology (ETHICS)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132001504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Early Career Engineers' Perception of Social Justice in Engineering","authors":"Lazlo Stepback, B. Jesiek","doi":"10.1109/ethics57328.2023.10154934","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ethics57328.2023.10154934","url":null,"abstract":"The inclusion of society and environment into the quintuple innovation helix opens the door to explore issues of ethics and social justice within engineering. There have been many discussions about the relationship between engineering and social justice and how this relationship is taught (see the books Riley, 2008; and Lucena, 2013; and Leydens and Lucena, 2017). The purpose of this poster is to explore and highlight how early career engineers perceive the relationship between engineering and social justice as well as identify common themes that could be used to inspire future analysis. This poster uses data collected from 20 early career engineers as part of a larger longitudinal mixed-methods study into engineering students' perceptions of ethics and social responsibility. Specifically, We use data from the third round of interviews that occurred after all the participants had graduated from their undergraduate programs and were either enrolled in a graduate program or working full time. The participants were asked if engineering is related to social justice and to explain their reasoning. Most participants were able to articulate some level of connection between engineering and their perception of social justice. Even if a participant was initially unsure about the definition of social justice or its relationship to engineering, most participants were still able to articulate a connection. Only one participant said there was no overlap and described engineering as creative problem solving but social justice as more political. Many participants were able to describe the relationship between the two and provide clear examples of engineering and social justice influencing each other. Some participants discussed social justice and engineering in the context of the impact of engineering work and proximity to the end-users of their product. For example, the connection to social justice for some disciplines or industry sectors, such as electrical engineering or weapons manufacturing, was not clear for some participants. A similar theme present in participant responses was the relationship between social injustice and engineering, such as discriminatory city planning, and seatbelts being designed without consideration for female bodies. If engineering can be socially unjust, then it can also be socially just. This poster also highlights areas where early career engineers most clearly perceive social justice in their own work and within engineering more broadly.","PeriodicalId":203527,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Symposium on Ethics in Engineering, Science, and Technology (ETHICS)","volume":"141 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113983573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings suggest that by pairing ethics with equity, the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) has raised the profile of professional responsibility among engineering education administrators. Unfortunately, by treating ethics and equity as distinct skillsets rather than integrated epistemological practices, we fail to disrupt powerful ideologies in the profession. In the process, we run the risk of universalizing ethical dilemmas faced by socially advantaged engineers, masking career mobility penalties faced by marginalized members of the profession and leaving engineering leaders with strong social impact records off the hook for inequity. In short, by decoupling equity from professional ethics, we leave societal patterns of privilege intact in workplaces designed for something other than teaching and learning.","PeriodicalId":203527,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Symposium on Ethics in Engineering, Science, and Technology (ETHICS)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133597612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, some quantitative evaluation framework for assessing the level of ethical compliance of a technology to the most important ethical principles is still missing. In this work, we first provide a model to quantitatively assess constitutive ethics, i.e., the intrinsic ethical compliance of a technology. Secondly, we propose a method for quantitatively assessing circumstantial ethics risks of a technology, when used in some specific context. Our ethics risk assessment model is based on the evaluation of the compliance of the technology to a defined set of controls about some ethical principles and about the robustness of the technological infrastructure underneath. Then, we validate our model by applying it to some recent healthrelated blockchain frameworks, and we compare a qualitative ethical assessment with the quantitative assessment made with the proposed model for constitutive ethics compliance. Through our assessment, we identify some technical choices that achieve the highest ethical scores, such as using a permissioned blockchain, off-chain storage, and encryption of data. Finally, we observe that the principles of privacy and data governance turn out to be the most satisfied ethical principles, contrary to fairness.","PeriodicalId":203527,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Symposium on Ethics in Engineering, Science, and Technology (ETHICS)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126046337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
