Audio Transcript

Okay
all right.
Good afternoon everyone. I'll get the audio sorted out with AV
or information services. For next day. So welcome to computer
science to ad
the nurse work.
That's a strange
didn't expect this technical difficulty
okay
so I'm going to record the audio from the meeting and I'll post
the transcript on the website. I hope it's gonna work out okay
so I have that going on my phone here. So this is my website.
I'm, my name is Daryl Hepting
So we have 26 meetings. over the semester, so the first of those
so who had classes yesterday? So some of you this isn't the first
day of class but first week of the semester anyway. So we're
also going to take pictures of the board. So I'm gonna try and
rate large enough so you can have an idea of what I'm trying
to communicate but I'll take pictures and I'll post them on
the website. as well.
So you can call me Daryl or Dr. Hepting, whichever you prefer.
But just fees living into one of those two at least when I'm
around
so I was born and raised in Regina, I did my bachelor's and
master's degrees here. I did my PhD at SFU and I've been back
here for as a faculty member for 20 Some years
Okay, so let me show you what I have for the website for our
class. So I don't have the PDF of the syllabus ready but I have
the basics and your horses and the PDF will be uploaded before
our next meeting. I apologize for that. So under teaching,
I'll just show you this link that I have for today. That
tells you
this is the time of day we're out right now. So it gives you a
link to the the meeting page. That's one way to get to the
class
Okay, so this is on my personal webpage that the links are to
you our course many of the links are to your courses. So when you
come to class devices are welcome. So you can use your
courses. So if you log into your courses, then you can do
attendance. Record you can record your own attendance.
This shows you a calendar for the day. And then the other
index. Okay
there should be another one that's on here. I don't know why
it isn't.
Off to check that out
so this is the one that I thought was going to be there
today. I don't know why I didn't show up on the calendar
so this is
I found a bug in your courses. Well, I didn't. I'm not the
first one to discover it. So there are some issues but the
nice thing about your courses is that it's open source. So we
can,
in theory, have more agency to correct the problems. But it's
written in PHP and it has some other barriers to entry there I
think for for developers. That's a discussion for another time.
So this is going to be the structure of our meetings. So
the administration I'm just going to leave those things
alone pretty well and I won't deal with them too much in
class. So you can record your own attendance by clicking on
that link.
So the next part is response to responses. So
what I'm asked but the thing that I clicked on in your
courses is a questionnaire or three questions. So what what an
important concept or perspective did you encounter today in
today's meeting, like the meeting we're in right now. I
didn't ask you can you hear me all right now? In the back.
Okay, that's a good sign. So what important concept or
perspective did you encounter today? Was there anything that
gave you some difficulty today? And then third, is there
anything about what you'd like to know more from today's
meeting? So you can if you write a response to one, two or three
of those questions, write a thoughtful response you get two
marks towards
towards 10 marks towards your final grade. If you don't, if
you write something but it's not thoughtful or it's clearly not,
if you just type a few characters into say you've
submitted something, you won't get full marks for that. Okay,
so that's responses over the semester are going to be 10
marks towards your final grade.
And so what I'll do so the closes, the time for responses
closes at 11pm The day of the meeting, so you can respond
until 11pm tonight okay, so it makes sense. And I'm going to
run a script and present so you're not you don't see the
results of the questionnaire in you our courses. But I'm going
to present the responses they received and they'll appear at
the bottom here. Under responses what once I process them, so
tomorrow more tomorrow, sometimes we'll see the
responses. And then beginning of a meeting on Thursday, we'll
review some highlights of the responses Okay, so that's a way
for you to participate in the class without having to put your
hand up and perform in front of class.
So I'm going to also give you some things to do in your
courses. So the response results from last meeting. Let's say
most meetings I'll interact I'll ask you to interact with the
class material on your courses. I will post the results here
from the previous day. So I've got one. One activity for you to
do here and then so you can start it in class. Today. But
it's due at 11pm. Tonight. It's not a it's not a big thing. It's
a choice between two alternatives. So it's not too
onerous. So I'll I'll talk about the results from last meeting in
that section. And then today will just be what we're going to
talk about today. So I wanted to in case you're wondering about
having a class with 280 Some students in it so there is an
option for 280 in the summer, July and August Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, this time of day for 230 to 345. And
there's capacity of 150 Not that you're not welcome here. I just
want to let you know that this is another sections being
offered okay.
So I did the introduction such as it is told you about
recording so let's go to the URL courses web page then.
So one thing I'm frustrated about already, is that there's
no way for me to get back to the homepage of the course. Easily
but I think I can do it if I do. So I know if you're familiar
with this latest version of Moodle, I'm not sure what's
what's changed in the latest version but so the course index
is on the left here that's hidden away. Usually you can
bring it out and so we're doing a collapse topic format so we
you can hide all the things or show them here but that's the
course index and on the other side there's the block so I
haven't added blocks to the calendar page.
So here's here that is open the block, drawer, whatever it's
called. So the first one is the calendar. So you can see what's
going on for today.
So we can hide that as well. stuff in the middle doesn't get
much bigger though. So in general, I'm going to have a few
more bits of information here
so when I started your courses, course now I get bonus email
activity that I can't delete. So you can use your courses email
to get in touch with me. That's maybe a good way to do it
actually. Even though it's frustrating because I get the
email that says you received your courses email. And it says
enough. It gives me enough information to know that I got
an email but then it cuts off before it provides anything
useful. Anyone else frustrated by that? Maybe together we can
improve you make big improvements in your courses.
Anyway, so good news or not your courses has been reaffirmed as
our learning management system on campus so we'll be using it
for a while still. I think that's overall a good thing.
So announcements. I can write to that and you'll get it but you
can't reply to them. So I had a class discussion forum here as
well. Where you can no just have one forum for everything.
So we can use that as our as a way to get in touch with
everybody. On occasion, I might send you a course email I mean
an email with the
with the Course Email tool so I'll just say if somebody's
interested in making, having music contact on your courses, I
don't do that. The reason is because I get messages from
people and I have no context about where the messages have
come from. And people will ask them don't give me context in
the message either. So it's very frustrating. So I just say
nothing personal but I'm not going to accept any requests to
make. Have a contact okay
so here are the meetings so
I'm going to update this weekly schedule with information from
the webpage, my web page here
so this is giving us giving you all the list all the weeks of
class so the week of Monday me Monday, eighth of January, which
was yesterday has two meetings. So this meeting today and
Thursday's meeting. So the note for this week is the first
meeting was January 9, which is today, surprisingly enough so
February 19 is family day. That's reading weeks was no
class meetings. And then meeting 13 will have to avoid unlucky 13
But the 14 that seemed much better, and it's the 29th of
February so that's when we're gonna have our midterm in class
and.
The final is either on the 16th to the 29th 23rd Pardon me. For
those of you doing for 28 You know you have exams on those two
days. But I'll have it nailed down for you. Next time.
I didn't update my office hours here, but I'm proposing to have
office hours Monday, Mondays and Wednesday afternoons one to four
that will there'll be a few days when there's a factory science
meeting or something else when I have to be unavailable but in
general we'll try and stick with that. And if you if you want to
get in touch with me outside of that. We can make arrangements
send me an email and we'll find a time to talk we can also do
zoom
so the syllabus link doesn't work, but it will by Thursday.
Here's our you our courses link and then also here if you want
to download a calendar file for the meetings. You can do that.
Say we'd like to put things in your calendars with ICS files. I
did it so that this application I'm using to transcribe the
audio called otter.ai knows that the meeting is coming up and so
it gives it gives the recording a reasonable name. But then I
realized that it didn't update the calendar. I had to do I had
to open the calendar and do something with it to get the
update to come on to my phone and it didn't. So today I have
to do it by hand. But anyway, since I did that created the
calendar for thought maybe you'd be interested in as well. That's
what that one is. So blown to bits. Second Edition. We don't
have a textbook. But blown to bits is a good resource. It's in
the second edition. And so the chapters you can buy the book if
you like but it's also available for download. So I've given you
the link to the website where you can get more information
from ACM Code of Ethics
any idea what this what ACM stands for?
Association of country music. Probably not know well maybe it
does but not the one we're interested in.
So it's an Association for Computing Machinery. It's not
the association of Computing Machinery. Maybe that would be
the case of Skynet. We're active but so nobody gets Terminator
references Who's heard of Terminator the movie franchise
before?
Okay, now, this is
a loaded question but who thinks I have a sense of humor
far less than the people who understand the Terminator
reference
so it was a loaded question because you're not you're not
freely answering the question because you have I have this
power relationship. I'm giving you marks for the class and so
you think I can't really give my honest opinion of his sense of
humor because he's gonna give me a failing grade. If I don't
laugh at his stupid jokes. So that's, that's an ethical issue
we'll come up against later in the semester.
I know it's the first day and maybe it'll grow on you. Okay,
so the net ACM has a code of ethics.
So, Association for Computing Machinery is it's from the
States but it's a very large international organization. So
that's an authority for many things. So they have a code of
ethics that was updated in 2018. That's the link there. And then,
more generally, they have a page about ethics. Where they show
other codes of ethics and have a more general discussion. So
that's the second link. And then ces 2023 is the new effort to
update the curriculum for computer science. So last time
it was done was 2013. So lots has changed since over the last
10 years or so. So the first link is sort of the larger
project and then the second link to ces 2023. Report version
gamma is the latest version. So that was done in August. So I
don't leave past 2023 now, but I'm not sure when the final
version is going to come out. But that's there for your
reference. And the last one is center for humane technology.
So they're interested in creating humane technology
because not all technology that's available today is
thinking about humanity and people who are affected by it.
Okay,
so going back to the tour here. So did read responses to
meetings. So I've also got quizzes set up. So open the day
of the meeting, so from midnight if you're up until the class
meeting time so 230 You'll be able to have access to the class
quiz. So that'll it will cover things we did in the meeting
previous and also the material I've asked you to look out for
the upcoming meeting. So for Thursday's meeting, it might ask
a question but what we did today and ask you something about what
I what I assigned to look at for this upcoming meeting. So that
makes sense. So that's another 10% of your final mark. And then
assignments will be another 40 marks and exams will be 40 marks
as well. So midterm 10 Final 30.
So the participation will just will collect the activities I've
set up in your courses like the choice we have now. Which will
make more sense once we watch the video
so I'll collect those so Oh, I didn't mention the wiki since
I'm here so we talked about
avoiding power or being mindful of power relationships and of
course the factor they might the coercion that we might be
exerting on other people or perceived coercion that we might
be exerting. So we have a participant pool in computer
science. So that means if there are people in the department
doing research that requires human subjects not for anything
too invasive, but maybe using a piece of software, doing a task
on a website, for example, those sorts of things. The participant
pool will give you an opportunity to earn a bonus
mark. So if there are studies being done this semester, and
you can participate in up to two studies per class. So it's
unlikely that there'll be four studies for example, there might
be one or two but you can earn research credit for
participating in in the study. So I'm the participant pool
coordinator. But so I have an arm's length relationship, so
I'm not I don't want to know if you're participating or not. I
just at the end of the semester, I will get a list of people who
have participated and give them a bonus mark in the spreadsheet.
So that that's a way for me to manage or acknowledge the power
relationship and to mitigate as much as possible. So we give one
bonus Mark instead of 50. Because for one mark, you might
say, I'm not sure if I want to do this or not.
But it's not it's it's not enough to dissuade to make me do
something I don't want to do but if it's if the reward is so
great that you feel compelled to do it even though you don't want
to do it then then that's not giving you free and informed
consent. So it's enough to say thank you but not enough to make
you do something you don't want to do. So that makes sense.
So I just want you mentioned the wiki
so for each
have a page here for all each meeting.
So I'd encourage you to contribute insights and
summaries and so forth. To the wet to the wiki I've tried
different things to encourage people to do this. Which have
generally not been successful. But I provided here's a
reference as an opportunity for you as a resource for you if
you're interested in doing that. To collaborate with people to
collect things it's a collaborative document. So as
you can write HTML, but the wiki part of it is just I'll show you
how it looks. How it looks. So put two square brackets, opening
square brackets and then the name of the page and close those
two square brackets. If the page exists, then it becomes a link.
And if the page doesn't exist, it'll come up on the page on the
screen as a red italics. You can create the page but otherwise
you can do regular HTML with the editor. This is just the way to
manage the links in the wiki in this collaborative wiki
Okay, so that's that
Okay, so I'm gonna show a video now. It's a little dated, but
not so dated that it's not it's still very relevant. I think
even though it's from 2011?
Evening do I have to plug it
looks pretty funny without sound
sure I'm just wondering if it's not on some here.
Oh oh, this
somewhere there's an earphone jack.
In order
DJ kid
evening time your MacBook
How can I minimize
okay, I press one of these just how it is gonna turn up the
volume or choose blindness
I guess to get into the audience size
can you get into the audio settings? If I'm not wrong, it's
a case that is your laptop. hooked to the speakers in here.
Concerned HDMI should handle the audio.
So if it's it's hooked up to HDMI to the projector as the
projector hooked up to the stereos Okay,
that's why I was calling. See
those sounds sound sound output
that's going to be loud
so that might not be here. But let's see, you know what this
is? Because this VGA, VGA VGA doesn't fit I tried to visit
family Oh
Good luck. Thanks
okay,
I appreciate the help
and so we got it worked out. It's a matter of selecting HDMI
out but which I should have realized, but realize not too
soon afterwards. So thanks again now, so we can watch him with
sound when he's flipping around at the beginning
let me know when the
if it's a good volume or not.
Let's take an example. What can we do with just one person's
data?
What can we start over
okay
that is the word that comes to mind. We're gonna use a lot of
data. We have a lot of power. How much power you have seen
from Apocalypse Now removed. You got to get our hero to Willer
the mountain the numbers you can go pursue Colonel Kurtz where
maybe just flying and dropped them off. So the scene The sky
is filled with this fleet of helicopters carrying it with a
smile. It's thrilling music in the background is Wild Music. Oh
that's the kind of power I feel in this room. That's the kind of
power we have. Because let's take an example. What can we do
with just one person's data? What can we do with that text
data? I can look at your financial records. I can tell
that you pay your bills on time. I know if you're due to give a
loan to your medical records and see if that pump is still
pumping. See if you're good to offer insurance to. I think
you're thinking when you come to my website. Lets me know what
you mean. You're ready because I've seen him visit millions of
websites before he started to tell you. You're like poker,
you're gonna tell. I can tell with data analysis what you're
gonna do before he even do it. I know what you are. I know who
you are. And that's easy for them to manage those are the
kinds of things we can do with the data that we have. And I'm
actually here to talk about what we can do. I'm here to talk
about what we should do what's the right thing to do? Now I see
some puzzled looks like why are you asking us what's the right
thing to do? We're just killing somebody else's use again. Fair
enough. But it brings me back to World War Two. Some of our great
technologists and some of our great physicists studying
nuclear fission and usually just nuclear stuff. We gather
together, these physicists and Los Alamos see what we want
people building new technology thinking about what we should be
doing with the technology. So media, that guy's paid to be
collecting and gathering so he can make his online experience
better to he can make money so we can protect ourselves up to
no good or super we respect his privacy protected activity and
which one is as we figured out, crosses across the surface. So
again, to find out let's start with a sort of easy question,
something I'm sure everybody here has an opinion about. I
don't understand. It's a show of hands. I vote. Ever. You think
with a bunch of smart people who wouldn't be such suckers just
for the three felonies. All right. Alright, next question a
little bit harder. Should we be collecting all the bad guys here
to make these experiences better and protect ourselves or should
we beat them up?
collect this data? We
Okay, last question. All right question. We're trying to
evaluate what we should do. In this case, should we use a
transient deontological moral framework or should we use a
million to a million consequentialist?
Thoughts No. Not Not as many books Yeah, that's terrifying.
That is terrifying. Because we have stronger handheld devices.
Think about the more frequent you should use the guy that the
sickness
How do we know what to do? With all the power we have if we
don't have more?
We know more about mobile operating systems, but what we
really need is a moral. What's more left than a system or we
all know right and wrong, right? It feels good when you do
something right. You feel bad or you do something wrong, or
parents need to set you know, praise for the good, the bad.
And how do we figure out what's right and wrong from day to day
with the techniques that we use, right? Maybe we just follow our
gut. Maybe we take a vote, we crowdsource milkweed plants. So
people don't department CBSA is kind of random, ad hoc or we
figure out what we should do. And maybe if we weren't sure,
what we really want is a moral framework that will help guide
us there that will tell us what kinds of things are right or
wrong in the first place. And how will we know in a given
situation what to do? So let's get in more frame. We're younger
as people living by notice, how can we use numbers as the basis
for a moral frame? I know a guy who did exactly that ruined guy.
He's been dead 4500 years.
That's right. Remember, old philosopher. You were speaking
during that class? Get a lot of the same concerns that we get.
He was worried about right and wrong. He wanted to know what is
yes. But he was worried that all we seem to be doing is training
opinions about this. He says sometimes just says something
else just kind of convinced me he talks. I'm just going back
and forth. I'm not getting into it. I don't want opinions. I
want knowledge. I want to know the truth of abscessus. Likely
we have truths in math, in that. We know the objective facts
taken anywhere to be a number. There are truths about two. If
you got two or something to add two more, you get four that's
true, no matter what the you're talking about. It's an objective
truth that other form of to the abstract form. We have to have
anything two eyes, two ears, two noses, two protrusions, those
will partake of the form of tooth. They all participate in
the truths. The two heads they all have to listen. And
therefore it's not a matter of opinion. What is Plato thought?
Ethics was like math. What if there were a pure form of
justice? What if there are truths about justice, and he
would just look around in his world and see which things
participate in that form of justice, then you would help?
What was really just you, it wouldn't be a matter of just
opinion or disappearance. That's a stunning thing about how grant
I want to get you access as we are he wants to solve ethics, or
Subjective Truth is you if you think that way, you have a
flakiness tomorrow. If you don't think that way, well, company
history of Western philosophy because the tidy idea, you know,
people criticize it, Aristotle's in particular was not amused.
You ever seen an article, Aristotle said, we should see
only so much precision in each subject is so big about
Aristotle thought and this wasn't about like Mass Effect.
Ethics was a matter of getting decisions and hearing now, using
our best judgment to find the right time to think that we
don't give up. Maybe there's another way that we can use
Congress as the basis of our moral framework. In any
situation, you could just help us look at the choices measure
out which one is better and know what to do. It sounds good.
Yeah, that's a utilitarian moral framework. John Stuart Mill was
a great advocate of this, this guy sighs and only did 200
years. So basically, utilitarianism is very familiar
at least the three people who voted for him before this, but
here's what works. What is more, with what makes up more it's
just a matter of if it maximizes pleasure and minimizes pain. It
has something intrinsic to the act by its relation to some
abstract form. It's just a matter of the consequences.
You're just looking at the consequences and see an overall
disorder good or frameworks have to be simple. Then we went to
get the same example. Suppose I go up, and I say, Secretary
Mattis because I ran earlier because I made a little
calculation, I thought, and what if you say send me a message is
in line tied up for whoever took over African line, and he's
actually sleeping so I'm gonna find that out. When I find that
out. I'm going to prevent a huge amount of damage that he could
cause that has very high utility to repair that damage repaired
so no payment is going to cost me this would be embarrassing.
We're going on its own CEUs are no problem and I hope it is only
for those around by the ballot. If you feel that way that's the
utilitarian choice. But maybe you don't feel that way. Maybe
this is as wrong as it is. Because he's a person and he has
rights and he has dignity and we can't just interfere with that.
He has autonomy doesn't matter what the calculation are. There
are things that are intrinsically wrong. Like why is
it torturing innocent children as
condoms very good, as you said? He said, we should use our
reason to figure out the rules by which we should guide our
conduct, and then to start doing that follow those rules. It's
not a calculation. Unless we're right in the face of it, this
philosophical thing. And this goes on for 1000s of years.
Because these are hard questions to have only got 15 minutes. So
let's cut to the chase. How should we end our decisions?
Players aerosol tries to know, what should we be doing? What's
the answer? What's the formula that we can use in any situation
to determine what we should do whether we should do this that
guy's data or not? What's the form? There's not there's not as
simple as ethics is far. Ethics requires thinking. And that's
uncomfortable. I spend a lot of my career in artificial
intelligence trying to build machines that could do some of
this thinking for us. They could give us answers, but but they
can't. You can't just take human thinking and put it into a
machine we're the ones that have to do it humans and pretend
interest, and we think we must have Eric said. The sad truth is
that most evil is not done by people who choose to be evil. It
arises from not the finality of evil. In response to that is
that we demand the exercise of thinking for every sane person.
So let's do that. Let's say that that's let's start right now.
Every person in this room do this. Think of the last time you
had a decision to make where you were worried to do the right
thing, where you wondered about what should I be doing? Branch
and now reflect on that and say, How did I come up with that
decision? What should I think the next time oh my god, yeah,
somebody run into that tons of people. Whenever we have a few
more choices,
did I evaluate what would be
a highest pleasure like?
Where like font they use reason if you're looking to just be
right, think about it's really bringing to mind this is
important it is so important. We're going to save 30 seconds
of valuable TED talk time doing nothing but thinking about this.
Are you ready? Go.
So when you this is the first step first taking responsibility
for what we should do with all of our power. Now let's try
this. Find a friend. Explain to them how you made that decision.
You're shopping for lunch. And you're just finding better
technologists on somebody different than you were right.
or heaven forbid mindful law, philosophy conflicted. That's
fine. Find somebody for Humanities find because they
think about problems differently than we do as technologists. I
mean, just a few days ago, right across the street. From here,
there's plenty of people gathered together was
technologist and humanists at that big newly open tech
conference. And they gathered together because the
technologist wanted to learn what it would be like shifting
from a humanities perspective. If someone from Google talking
to somebody who does Comparative Literature, you're thinking
about the relevance of 17th century French theater. How's
that bear upon venture capital? Right? Well, that's interesting.
That's a different way of thinking. And when you think in
that way, you become more sensitive to human
considerations, which are crucial to making ethical
decisions. So imagine that right now. You were the founder
musician, and you're telling them what we're talking about,
you know about our whole data Revenue Service. Maybe you've
been like, hum a few bars of our theme music. Your musician
friend was soccer. So yeah, this theme music for your data
revolution is based on us legend guys. And mythical creatures
fighting over magical jewelry.
That's interesting.
It's also beautiful and removed. removed because it's about the
battle between good and evil. about right and wrong. And we
care about radio. We care what happens in our house. We care
what happens in Apocalypse Now. And we certainly care what
happens with our technology. We have so much power. It's up to
us to figure out what to do. And that's the good news. Were the
ones writing this out. This is already we figure out what will
happen with this technology. We've turned it how this will
all end.
Would you think of that?
Okay, I thought maybe
Terminator was
gotten so popular now. And you will get that same number from
Bill in the video. Anyway, that's in Vietnam. very famously
over budget anyway.
Really sat late.
Okay, so this class is called.
Okay, so this is the audience participation time of the
meeting. What do you see as risks or rewards, what? Just
think of a risk or a reward and share it, put your hand up and
I'll call on you and we'll write on the board. Or you can come
and write it on your board yourself if you want to get up
and stretch without going out the classroom Yeah.
Yeah, in a world where one has secrets you have no secrets.
Is that a reward or a risk
in a world of secrets
I think secrets or maybe for some people less of less
importance.
sharing too much information.
Not answering and answering this question. What can we see as a
risk and what can be seen as a reward?
So risk is answering yes either.
So it's easier to
information or information side it's easier to participate,
especially when we're online.
It's a little bit more difficult to say
the same risks and rewards when talking in class like this.
We're speaking at speed now. There's also the word research
okay.
Yeah.
The risk is that our automation will reduce future jobs
information Yeah.
I was just watching the American College Football Championship
last night. I was logged in
thought they would watch TV
so this guy was kind of struggling looking.
He was a fixture on the gas and now you die. So what they've
done is they're using AI to go the answer so they can remember
money and results, they deserve the Great. Well there so I'm
going to mention a big risk or reward
if so, with the internet having an ever expanding amount of
information it's very easy to spread misinformation.
Okay, I think we're out of time. Maybe a little bit past. All
right on the nose. Okay. Wow, that was quick.
So the website you're not registered for the class. Yeah.
You are registered. Then you should get I'll get the links
put in right away. You're in courses right to our courses to
my foot page. Okay.
Morning

Responses

What important concept or perspective did you encounter today?

Today I learnt a lot of things about risks and rewards in the world of computing and technology.
The risk and reward of AI development
the risk and reward of information handling
How ethics is important when using data and how it impact the thinking process of human beings
Just the introduction of the course.
Having a moral compass with regards to computing.
To learn the risk and rewards that society are subjected to in terms of information
There is a risk in reward, and reward in risk.
We have learnt in today's lecture that what is the moral operating system by TEDEX speaker damon Horowitz.
I came to know about important concept "moral operating system" where Damon Horowitz shares that how important it is to have moral framework concept to make decisions using technology keeping in mind how risks and rewards are linked with it.
It was our first class today in which the course was introduced. An important concept I encountered today was the risks and rewards that come with the information society.
The different philosophical approaches to mass data collection
The perspective of the speaker to try to make us understand about ethics that it is not just a simple equation to which a set of formula could be used to solve or to explain it to a computer rather it is something us humans decide by reflecting back on the steps we take to get to a decision.
That we need to be careful about our data, since there are so many ways it can be used and abused by third parties tracking everything we do online.
My biggest takeaway was from the Ted Talk discussing the different perceptions of morals there were.
no
Importance of one’s privacy and that it should be the persons choice to make it public
We talked about risk and reward in information and TED talk
That artificial intelligence is everywhere.
An important concept that I encountered today was from the Ted Talk video shown in class. It talked about the power our society holds over data and asks if there is a moral framework that could help us manage it with "justice". It was really interesting seeing in the video how many people have stronger opinions over their hand-held devices than our moral framework for making decisions. A notable quote stated in the video is how most people make bad decisions because the decision was not given much thought.
From the video today i got to learn the most basic yet very imperative meaning of ethics in field of computing. Moreover, the illustration of AI to explain the concept of risk and reward was very influential as it covered the objectives of data usage.
One important perspective I encountered in this meeting was the consequentialist view regarding how data should be used mentioned in the TED talk. This moral framework appeals to me greatly since I also believe the ends should justify the means mainly when it comes to political/social issues. However, seeing utilitarianism applied in a computer science perspective got me to think more about how useful and dangerous technology can be such as with the rise of AI threatening to cost humans their jobs.
Some things can be both a risk and a rewards when it comes to the information society
Ethics plays a crucial role in IT society
The idea of looking at ethics and morals through the lens of math. Measuring the right and wrong to make a decision. Precisely why machinery is not ideal in systems that need to evaluate the weight of one's actions. Code relies on logic alone where the human mind is able to both empathize and think logically. Both is needed for humans to flourish.
I learnt with great reward comes with great risk in the information society which is a gamble we most wisely analyse.
Generally, the concept of philosophical issues arising in the information society was not new to me, but todays class made me think critically about them.
I learned that is important to think about the risks that come with information and technology. I learned how it is important to reflect on ethics and morals when making decisions for how technology is to be used.
The talk we had about Risks and Rewards
the risk and reward of the advancement in information collection
Risk and Reward, as well as exploring Kant and other such philosophers
Introduction to Risks and Rewards.
I think all the topics were important but mostly today’s lecture was focused on decision making skills and also risk reward introduction
That your personal information online is much less secure than most people think.
In the TedTalk, I thought that the aspect of privacy and whether ethics and morals matter more than we think in regards to technology/social media.
I have occasionally thought about whether Justice is a definite, but now I am very cureous and excited to dive into the idea more!
Risks and advantages of data
An important concept or perspective that I encountered today was the idea that there is more than one answer for any ethical dilemma. Every question asked in ethics can be seen from many different perspectives. I have always assumed there is always one viewpoint that is more correct than others. However, after learning that different disciplines of study can present different ideas about ethics, I understand there are always multiple viewpoints and normally more than one correct solution to a problem.
I leant about ACM, which stands for the Association for Computing Machinery. It is a professional organization dedicated to advancing the field of computing. ACM provides resources, publications, and events to support the global computing community. And also the TedX video that talks about Tech and AI and how AI will only work by the brain of a human
Talking in video about the right things to do like respecting the dignity and the privacy of someone when we have their data.
Data collection; privacy; making our decisions after analyzing what is right and wrong.
It is important to think about the intentions of making the technologies and the possible harm it can cause
The idea of how collection of data can be harmful if used incorrectly.
The amount of risks involve with information
From the TED talk I learned the everyone makes their decisions through a different process
Today I encountered a Ted Talk that talked about different decision making perspectibes that each person uses. It helped me understand how I make decisions and what I base my decisions on. Personally, I decide by my feelings and the consequences of the actions.
Risk and reward in information society
The ethics involved in handling personal information.
Moral Operating System, Risk and Rewards interpretation
That there aren't "truths" like math has, and that morals are not as simple as a set of truths or rules for everyone to follow.
Something I learned today is about amount of power people have in the information society. Our information is easily accessable to those who seek it which is both beneficial and concerning.
The morality of data collection and the risks vs rewards.
multiple view points on what could be considered as a moral/ethical systems; and from what I understood; what are the risks and rewards of collecting and using data sets.
Today was the first day of the class and we started with syllabus and a video discussion and we did discuss about some risk and reward, and as I am an introvert person I couldn’t tell at that tome but according to me I think AI can be far more dangerous as it can copy one person completely and can do anything with the data.
The important concept i encountered today is how people in the humanities field and those in the technology field have different perspectives of thinking and solving problems.
About DATA
It was a great time learning about the pros and cons i.e the risks and rewards of internet today
I like the topics we saw in video today, as ot was repated to cybersecurity, data privacy and decision making in information society. These are often involv in risk and balancing them againt rewards.
I encountered the concept of utilitarian frame work and how it applies to ethics of data collection in the technological field
The risks and rewards of Internet
Today was a general introduction to the course. After watching a video the risks and rewards of the information society were discussed.
Ethics with privacy online.
Watching the Ted talk on We need a "Moral Operating System" by Damon Horowitz forced me to think about the topic which i never really thought about which was "ethics" which I though simply means doing the right things. But after watching this video, it provided me a new perspective that what really is a right thing. I personally think there is no right thing, it all depends on everyone's perspectives and thoughts. In short right thing can differ person to person.
An important concept or perspective I encountered today is that both morals and ethics are very complex and cannot be solved or described using only one perspective. With a lot of the decisions we make every day we often do not consciously think about the reasons we make those decisions. It is important to think about how we think to begin to understand how we build our morals and ethics.
In the tedtalk video seen, I found that a good decision is made after viewing all the good and bad aspects of a particular case.
Today we covered what is apocalypse and discussed about what is Risk and Reward in Information Society
Risk or Reward
The video you mentioned if people working in the tech field are responsible for setting and maintaining moral standards for users and themselves.
The most important concept I've learned today was when talking about ethics, we need to consider that there multiple sides to a story. There aren't going to be clear cut answers which makes ethics an extremely difficult concept to have opinions on. This is why as humans, we need to be able to think critically and deeply in order to develop a consensus on an issue. When talking about risks and rewards, this point was even more clear to me because I could see both sides to a difficult topic/issue.
That we as a society need to put more effort into evaluating our morals.
about risks and rewards of information of society.
The important concept for today was about the ending topic of what comes in risk and what comes in rewards, secondly it was about the decision making power, and last was of data thing about what to do .
Advantages and disadvantages of data collection.
As of the the introduction was important as well as things discussed in the Ted talk.
An important concept I encountered today in class involves the discussion of ethics in data collection. I learned about the different forms of moral frameworks (Plato, Aristotle, Utilitarian, etc.). The TED Talk by Damon Horowitz helped me to understand the importance of critically and consciously thinking when making decisions.
I got encounter that there are both risks and benefits of Artificial Intelligence
Risk and rewards
The concept of relating traditional philosophy to the world of computer science
risk and reward in imformation society
An important perspective i gain today was the idea of moral frameworks being applied to data . Something which by nature is binary and statistical having a humanistic view applied to it.
although today's lecture was introductoy, but i find it very interesting subject to learn
The most important perspective I learned today were the moral implications of technological risks and rewards.
The ted talk that we watched today was really interesting and gave me something to analyze and think about for later.
Managing your time and focusing on lectures will take you to the peak .
The idea of our extremely interconnected modern society being a double edged blade with its own risks and rewards.
An important concept I encountered today was the different types of risk and rewards. I have never really thought about risk nor reward before so it was a whole new concept to listen and learn.
How morality relates to information
Grading structure
making choices and handling of data
Apocalypes
The debate around whether data should be collected to make online experiences better or respect privacy.
The important concept i encounter today is we have a lot of power in the form of data but the main thing is that how we use that power(data). while using the power of technology, a technical person thinks in the way that we can access the data of others and doesn't care about the privacy & secrets of any individual person. while the
In a really interesting Ted Talk, I found out that different groups of people understand things in their own ways. The speaker talked about how folks in tech and other areas have their own unique ways of thinking. Tech people, who work with cool gadgets and codes, share a similar way of looking at things. Meanwhile, people in different jobs also have their own similar thinking styles based on what they do. The talk explained how this affects how they work It together and solve problems in different fields.
the perspective of how something that can be both a risk and a reward to certain individuals in information society
data privacy is a cornerstone of personal freedom, allowing individuals to express themselves and navigate the digital world without the fear of being tracked or profiled. But Is it ethical?
An important concept today was the ethical dilemma of having access to data. Having that much accessibility grants an incredible amount of power, allowing people to view your activity on the Internet. However, we have to ask whether it is ethical to use and exercise that power, or should we consider other approaches to the accessibility of data.
Ethical Dilemmas was most important topic for me.
An important concept or perspective from today's CS280 class was that morals in technology is just as important as the programming part in order to preserve protection of the consumer and the creator, and protect authenticity of work.
The concept of Risks and Rewards of Information Society. From today session I get to know that there is mutual risk and rewards in today’s world of informative society due to technology.
WELCOMING CONCEPT AND DETAIL ABOUT THE SUBJECT.IOS AND ANDROID
In todays lecture, I learnt the importance of taking responsibility. Being proactive when navigating risks and making informed choices contributes to a safe ethical information society.
We did encounter basic intro in class today including discussing about personal data and what it may mean plus we also discussed pros ricks and rewards as well.
There are more risks in the information society rather than rewards.
What our data loss can cause so we should preserve it from the ted talk
The possible repercussions of collecting and sharing of data.
Making decision using your ethical mind.
Advantages and disadvantages of collecting data
Importance of moral framework
I learned that in any given situation there is always a risk and a reward involved.
The perspective of the people that companies get data from, mostly the consumers and users.
Risk and Rewards
Risk and reward
Definition of risk and reward in the information society, and ACM as well
how can we ethically use this huge power of technology, that we have got in our hands, into the betterment of our mordern society.
The benefits and risk of the modern technology of AI
Different considerations about risk and rewards
Potential consequences of disclosing personal information and its pros and cons .
The perspective that morals and ethics are more than just right and wrong, and that there are a multiple things that go into deciding whether something is right or wrong. Additionally, there is a risk and reward with this.
Privacy, it's use in two different ways, using people's private or public data to enhance their experience with technology or misusing their data to destroy their privacy.
I learned more about how there are risks and rewards to consider when we use technology.
One important concept I took into account was the idea that knowledge and data holds great power. As a result, we must think carefully about how this information should be used.
A lot of choices you make has risk tied to it, but in different scenarios, you also have a lot of rewards tied to a decision.
The idea of having a moral operating system that decides whether something is considered right or wrong based on what is believed to be morally right and wrong
The topic of whether it is safe to share information online. Furthermore, it is our duty as computer scientists to determine if it is morally acceptable to exploit user datasets to improve our work or whether we should respect users' dignity instead.
I encountered an important concept in today's video: the development of a moral operating system.
I today's class we learn about what are the risk and reward of the information of the an individual or a group of people in today's world.
Today's lecture gave me an introduction about the topic and the subject
There are many risks and rewards regarding the management of data. For this reason, we must be aware and have professional morals to tackle this topic correctly.

Was there anything today that was difficult to understand?

Not really. The class was pretty straight forward and very informative.
Wasn't able to submit attendance on time. I'll try it next time
I understood everything that was talked about today, but had a slight difficulty locating the syllabus.
There was no such difficult topics which were diffcult to understand after the revising the Video 2nd time after the lecture.
Because today was introductory, everything was easy to understand
The specifics of the philosophical perspectives
Didn't understood what all things were included in the class participation for this course.
Whether or not we should be collecting personal data is a difficult question to answer, morally at least.
Today was a pretty baseline class. I believe most of the material, if not all, was pretty self explanatory and easy to comprehend.
Third question that was asked in the video. I had no idea what was that about. First two were easy to answer
I think I was a little confused when after showing the TED Talk video, "What is Apocalypse Now?" was written on the board, and I am not entirely sure what that means.
One thing that forced me to think was when the TED talk brought up the need to apply a moral framework to how data is used. While we humans are in control of how that information is spread, information changes overtime. What we consider morally right and wrong now may not be morally right or wrong in the future. Of course we should be wary of how and what data we collect, but in my opinion, data is meant to be an objective representation of an entity and whether its good or bad, the truth is what matters.
The Terminator reference.
Apocalypse Now and The Terminator reference and most importantly some part TEDx
I found it a little but difficult to understand what kind of material we will be focusing on in this course. Hopefully the syllabus will help with this when it is posted.
People in the back were not able to listen properly because the mic volume was low
Not in particular, at times I struggled to hear you, so slightly louder microphone would be nice (this may also just be because of the sheer number of people in the room making it harder to hear)
I did not understand where they would be pulling this information from.
Not really. The class just felt a bit slower today but I believe it will speed up in the coming classes
I found it difficult to understand Kant''s view on ethics. Kant wanted to use reasoning in order to solve ethical issues. However, this sounds very similar to what Aristotle said about using judgement to determine the best answer. I assume that judgment would be gained from personal experiences, whereas reasoning would come from analyzing the situation.
I feel the Risk and Reward definition but I will be studying about it tonight
Not really, these are the basic things we encounter everyday, we just don't realize them deeply.
I didn''t fully understand what the ACM was
I might have misheard, I thought that we could begin these questions in class but I could not begin them until after class.'
Risk and Rewards interpretation little bit
I had troubles understanding what the types of moral frameworks being referred to in the TED talk.
The TED Talk that was presented in class was a little difficult to understand at first because I was unaware of the context and reasoning behind the video.
Based on other students answers, I was confused what the risks and rewards were referring to. Was it just things that involve risks and rewards or was it on the topic of technology?
No everything was understandable today but the method of teaching was somewhat different and was challenging as the TED talk was bit difficult to relate.
Yes there was something we learnt today that was difficult to understand it was how numbers can be used to seek a moral framework.
Honestly, nothing was difficult to understand today as it was the first day of class and 16 minutes video by Damon Horowiatz was also interesting.
I was unable to fully grasp how the concept of utilitarian framework could be implemented in tech with regards to data collection because of how much opinions on the subject differ between people.
the course syllabus
There was nothing I found difficult to understand as today was the first day of class. We were just getting familiar with UR Courses which I found quite straightforward.
The definitions of different types of thinking.
There was no such thing which was tough to grasp in the video or the first meeting, but I am really looking forward to look what this course will teach me further as the very first class was so much informative.
I found that the main topic of the TED talk was not very clear. It begins with power and influence but does not expand on that much. It then talked about ethics and morals within philosophy and our own decision-making. At the end of the TED talk, I still felt that it had not come to a solidified conclusion.
Apocalypse Now topic - How it get related to the TED talk video is a difficult task for me to understand
When watching the TED Talk speaker, I found it difficult to find his exact point he was trying to make. Until the very end I was pretty confused on his point. It seemed at points he wasn''t referring to technology at all and more just the concept of how thinking deeply is beneficial. Personally, considering how vague this concept was it was just hard to find direction and meaning in his words.
How to access your website.
The three philosophies that were discussed in the video.
I just had trouble finding the website at first and was confused as to how the class would operate but I am beginning to understand the more that I play around with the website.
The difference between Kant and Mill philosophy (don''t we figure out how things are intrinsically wrong in Kant philosophy using a method similar to Mill philosophy?)
not really, learned a new word apocalypse
Not really, it was very straight forward and helped introduce the nuances of privacy and our personal right to it on a data level
No. We did not learn too much so the things we learned today were simple to understand.
Todays class was not that difficult to understand as we were just introduced to the course
The contents of the TED talk video.
Today the only bit that I found difficult to understand was the TED Talk as it went by really fast and I struggled to understand the meaning.
some of the concepts were a little vague and abstract to catch on
yes, to define the risks and rewards in any particular situation.
I had a bit of trouble understanding the Risk and Reward topic near the end of class.
No the overview of syllabus and the video was interesting and easy to grasp.
The stuff about research credit. I'm unsure if the opportunities for Research Credit will be posted online, or we go participate on our own.
TED Talk by a professor discussing ethics, where he mentioned about ethical dilemmas. The idea of this process is difficult for me.
I struggled to understand the course load and what is expected of me, as well as what my learning outcomes should be by the end of this semester. I also did not understand what is expected regarding quizzes and responses to meetings.
Yes the reason behind the video of TED talk in class but after reviewing with prof and friends it is quite clear. Although first session but seems to be interesting. Also, one suggestion to increase the volume of prof mic because it is quite hard to hear in such a big class.
Everything thought today seemed pretty easy to understand since it is still a welcome class
I have basic knowledge of computer, internet and mostly everything in computers so it was easy for me to go through today.
How to use and edit the Wiki pages
Technically yeah.
Philosophies that were discussed were a bit difficult to understand
Didn't find anything much difficult but found some of the things from TED talk spectaculating and curious to think things that way too.
The TED Talk that was displayed was a bit confusing, I couldn''t understand what the speaker''s main point near the end of the video really was.
how can we relate ethics with math calculations like Plato
How to utilize Wikipedia pages and make edits.
I did not understand what the term Apocalypse Now was supposed to represent.
No, the video explained things clearly, as well as the examples of risk and reward we discussed as a class.
Understanding the reference to Apocalypse Now was a bit complicated.
Not at all. Everything was pretty much clear. I think we must see more examples of how data is vital nowadays and how we can implement mechanisms to manage it well.

Was there anything today about which you would like to know more?

I found the topic of Artificial Intelligence very interesting. It can either be a reward or risk for humans.
The Risk and Reward of other concept.
I want to know more about the risks and rewards. I'm interested in these topics.
Human thought and way of thinking for ethics or how data can/will be used
Probably the syllabus as well and maybe what type of class discussions we will be having
Not in particular, it all made sense to me.
I would like the class to progress more before I can ask to know more
I am curious if it's possible to have a reward without iniating any risks, or risks with 0 rewards.
i wanted to dig into more why we need the moral operating system.
Seeing my curiosity, I will like to know more on "moral operating system" implementing on current IT industry by knowing what are new precautions to take care of risks and what are future rewards that can be achieved by using technology wisely
We listed a few risks and rewards but I would like to know about more risks and rewards that come with the information society, and if we can ever truly trust the information we access, without any risks. I would also like to learn about the risks and rewards that aren't obvious, when it comes to accessing information online. There are many risks and rewards we don't realize in the information society which is why I would like to learn about them, to be more aware and mindful.
Nothing specific yet!
Would like to know more about how today's lecture could link with computer science in general.
How different entities use and collect our data, what its used for and more details about that specifically.
I would like to know more about the risk vs reward concept.
no
At the end of the lecture we talked about the risk of AI. I would like to know about to what extend it can cause harm
No I hope we will cover the stuff in coming classes
More about risk
I was wondering if the ACM code of ethics is an important concept in the class, and if it is, I could use further explanation about this topic.
Yes, i would like to learn more about the prominent risks associated with the information society in terms of data manipulation.
When talking about different risks and rewards regarding information, AI was brought up as a reward which is a belief I think should be challenged. I would like to learn more about how AI got so advanced and what that means for the future of humanity. Is it worth sacrificing our jobs for the sake of efficiency? What will become of us if machines control and distribute our information? Those are questions I want to encounter to challenge our worldview on the future of technology.
No, I am good. Thanks!
More on how much of one's private information should be accessed. Anything too crucial should be left alone but opinions differ and that is interesting to listen to. However, I would like to know exactly what the people of technological world thinks.
The TEDx show breakdown of his concept
I would like to understand more about the ACM code of ethics.
I would like to know more about what the assignments and exams will be like in this class, like what format will it be in and the dates they are due.
Nothing
i would like to learn more on what steps can be taken to protect one self for machines that are built without our wellbeing in mind
Not that I can think of, most topics were well explained
Nothing for today.
I would love learn the things that breaches the safety of people and inturn I would know what thing to take care of.
no
I would like to know more about which topics fall under both the "risk" and the "reward" categories, and why.
I want to understand why the world is hellbent on beliving very different idea that impact living conditions and information holding, along with the ethicality of keeping people's data for a "better online experience."
ACM
I would like to learn more about "using numbers to seek a moral framework" (Damon Horowitz, "We need a moral operating system"). I find it very interesting when there is data that can be used to help support and draw conclusions. I would be curious to see if the data found supports any of the philosopher's ideas in regards to the solution to the ethical dilemma.
I will like to know more and study more on how a non tech person sees a tech person according to the video and also to know more about the Risk and reward concept
Maybe considering Ai as a risk or a reward
No
seeing the different perspectives on the morality when it comes to making technologies
More about how technology can be regulated.
I'd like to know the extent at which our online data/ profile can be exploited
What the ACM is
Following the Ted Talk, I am curious to know how morality effects todays technology world with AI. Should we continue to make AI just to abuse the use of AI or should we stop with AI. Some people may perceive AI as somewhat real things and some may just see it as a computer.
Security things
I was intrigued by the concept of one comitting harm or evil by "doing nothing".
Risk and Rewards interpretation (how to differentiate them give a situation)
The belief of no human thinking being developed within AI is interesting as nowadays with more popular AI like ChatGPT there is definitely an influence on the types of answers as well as being able to configure the approach, attitude and wording that they respond with. I want to know if even though these new capabilities exist, is there still the belief that AI will not keep up with human thinking?
I would like to learn more about the different risks and rewards we may experience and how we able to respond and benefit from them.
I would like to know if there is some easy way to get to your website from UR courses.
Currently there is nothing that really interested me, so I am fine at this point and time.
I would like to know more about wiki and how data is an apocalypse, because everyone has different perspectives so I want a strong point to know about the data been apocalyptic
Yes i would like to know more about ethics in information society.
About how Data is being used
I would like to watch more such tedtalks based on multiple topics to dig deep into risks and rewards of multiple topics
Yes, by the end of the lecture as professor started about asking risk agint rewards in world, this even increased my enthusiasm in this course. So, I want to gain more and more knowledge about risk and reward in this course.
I would like for the above concept to be fully explained with the use of real world scenarios to better understand it.
the clear course outline
I would like to learn more about the risks that come with the information society, along with how much of our data is actually private. I feel as if the rewards are not complicated, however the risks are many and they directly relate to privacy and anonymity, which I am interested to learn more about.
More about different ways of thinking and challenging ethics.
I would love to know about ethics in detail, as it really grabbed my interest and after watching the ted talk i was really shocked as it provided me a very different perspective which i never really thought about,
I would like to know more about what this class is about in general, and how the knowledge and material fits within our contemporary life. There are a lot of risks and rewards when it comes to technology, but how much can we control as an individual?
Apocalypse Now Topic
Yes, I would like to discuss more about risk and rewards of using AI in real life
looking forward to learn more
If AI would fall under risk or reward
Considering this is the first class, I would say I would like to learn more about what morals and ethics will look like in computer science. When I think of the Internet, I think there is guidelines and laws we need to morally abide to. Privacy terms need to be met. Is this what this class would look like?
What we will be covering in the course.
I would like to know more about the risks of information society.
I would like to know more about how data affect in information society.
Implications of generative AI in ethical decisions.
No as everything was well covered.
I found the TED Talk really interesting and am hoping that we can delve into that subject a little more. I also think that the discussion about risk and reward was cut short, so maybe we can cover that in more detail in another class.
I would like to know more on the risks of AI
I want to know more about risk which also comes with rewards
No
about securty stuff and how it gonna help my future career
I would like to learn more about the far reaching consequences of risks not just the immediate ones
i would love to know about risk and reward in deep.
I would have like to learn more about risks and rewards in the technological society that we discussed on the board around the end of the class
Nothing much todays class was all about fun
