As an example, a publicly available database of children’s facial images hosted on Kaggle has been used to train AI models for autism diagnosis. The database includes approximately 3000 images of putatively autistic and neurotypical children and has been used in around 50 AI articles over the past five years, with more than 500 citations in total. However, the data were compiled using online searches on autism websites and social networks. This article critically examines the scientific validity of such a dataset for determining a child’s autism status, and highlights significant ethical and methodological flaws in the database construction and use. We argue that these flaws could have been prevented if the authors had partnered with community members and interdisciplinary experts. Without rigorous methods, appropriate ethical review, and genuine understanding of the populations being studied, AI models can easily become invalid. This article calls for a re-evaluation of the ethical implications and scientific integrity of using weakly validated datasets in AI for autism research.","PeriodicalId":55016,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Technology and Society Magazine","volume":"45 1","pages":"64-81"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147579032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These camps share a common aim: to captivate public imagination and galvanize support for broad acceptance of AI, while at the same time promoting responsible “guardrails” and greater transparency about possible unintended consequences. These expressions of concern about an emerging technology follow an established historical patternâ”a pattern dramatically established more than 85 years ago with a letter sent by Albert Einstein to then President Franklin D. Roosevelt about the feasibility of an atomic bomb. This essay explores how this and similar warnings in subsequent years, while well-intended, reinforce the belief in the inevitability of concrete technological changes and create a preference for adaptation over resistance. Conditional acceptance of totalizing technological systems drowns out voices that favor a pause, or delay, in adoption and thus allows time and space to socially construct alternative engineering approaches that might ultimately achieve roughly similar outcomes without the same degree of social and economic disruption. The author highlights the gap between mass perceptions of AI as deterministic and inevitable with scholarly frameworks that emphasize the plasticity of emerging technologies and their shaping by society.","PeriodicalId":55016,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Technology and Society Magazine","volume":"45 1","pages":"8-14"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11459428","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147579045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For those who are unsheltered, the additive impacts of extreme heat further disrupt sleep. Homeless shelters offer significant protection from environmental exposures, but the conditions of congregate shelters are not conducive to restful sleep. Technological innovations to improve sleep conditions for people with economic resources and stable environments are plentiful, but there is little innovation to improve sleep in homeless shelter environments. This technology gap invites exploration of a variety of individual and environmental technologies to address sleep disruption for vulnerable populations, including people staying in homeless shelters. Opportunities exist to address environmental conditions, trauma-informed approaches to sleep, and climate change mitigation with a research and innovation focus that incorporates equitable approaches to meet the needs of vulnerable populations, including the homeless population. By addressing restful sleep in congregate shelters, technology innovation has the potential to contribute to resolving homelessness.","PeriodicalId":55016,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Technology and Society Magazine","volume":"45 1","pages":"41-47"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11459410","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147579026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
