SUMMARY:MS3G - Ethical and Societal Considerations for Scientific Computin
 g
DESCRIPTION:While significant investments have been made in the exploratio
 n of ethics in computation, recent advances in high performance computing 
 (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) have reignited a discussion for mor
 e responsible and ethical computing with respect to the design and develop
 ment of pervasive sociotechnical systems within the context of existing an
 d evolving societal norms and cultures. The ubiquity of HPC in everyday li
 fe presents complex sociotechnical challenges for all who seek to practice
  responsible computing and ethical technological innovation. We wish to di
 scuss how we can incorporate ethics into all phases of scientific computin
 g developments and deployments to ensure the desired scientific outcome is
  achieved fully in a context that ethically considers humans and society r
 ather than just the technical requirements. We will share experiences from
  those who have incorporated ethics into what they do to demonstrate that 
 ethics and technical achievement are not at odds. We also will include per
 spectives on ethics to promote a lively discussion to seek balance in how 
 we pursue scientific progress. The panel discussion in this session will a
 ddress lessons learned and facilitate audience interaction aimed at enabli
 ng informed decision-making regarding ethics and responsible computing und
 er the lens of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.\n\nCommonly Sharing P
 atient Data - An Ethical Dilemma Between Privacy Rights and Promoting Well
 -Being for All\n\nData mining and artificial intelligence (AI) have become
  an increasingly used method of medical research in recent years. The prim
 ary goal is to identify patterns that can prevent diseases, enhance and ac

 -----------\nCan a HPC Center Ever Be Sustainable?\n\nIn recent years the 
 hpc community has increased its efforts in sustainability. But cutting edg
 e performance requires ever increasing resources, above all electrical pow
 er, but also semiconductors, raw materials, cooling fluids, land and obvio
 usly money to buy all of these. Increases in the supply do...\n\n\nNico Fo

 --------------------\nThe State of DEI in OSS\n\nOpen source software has 
 a notorious diversity problem. Women’s participation in OSS development is
  significantly lower than that of industry (10% compared to 30% of program
 mers). Multiple studies have highlighted women’s lower participation level
 s in OSS and their barriers to entry, and...\n\n\nHana Frluckaj (Universit
