too picky about choosing words to be more inclusive?
why bother with humane interfaces? Can’t we automate that?

Happy last day of class
so we'll still see
each other. We have an appointment on Tuesday
afternoon
So good news.
We're going to be in Gym 2 all by ourselves. I guess that it is a
sign of how big our class is that we can we get the gym for ourselves! So
I'm going to have a C I reserve the right to change seating and
move you around during the exam that I'm going to add a seating
plan not for your desks. But by extension of send an email
beforehand This is
see you wherever important
anyway.
Morning Okay, so
I need to create today the the summary of our resources that
we've done over the time since the midterm
so I promised to do that I'll get it done today. I've been
struggling with you our courses a bit yesterday and today.
Anyone else been struggling with your courses? No.
So from last day
here let me
me see if your course is going to cooperate now. Okay, so
here's the summary.
show you this. So by popular demand 99 out of 123 responses
said an exam should be all multiple choice.
So the word suggestions for questions
so everyone should be able to see the this questionnaire
report
the summary Can anyone confirm that they've been able to look
at this
so I'll use the suggestions in
in questionnaire kinds of questions the last exam so, all
the different suggestions I will give them and craft them into
multiple choice questions okay.
So because the exam is on Tuesday I need to finalize it
quickly so that's why I'm not gonna take any more
stress questions
so one comment one suggestion for a question was about
information wants to be free they haven't heard that
expression before.
You so the full version
Well, it's a quote from the conference where it is
originally were said to occur. Conversation between Stuart
Brand and Steve Wozniak and he ended those two names either of
those two names are familiar to anyone. Steve Wozniak was the
other person behind the Apple Apple computers. Anyway, not
quite as famous as Steve Jobs, I think. So on the one hand, you
have the point you're making was is that information sort of
wants to be expensive? Because it is so valuable. The right
information in the right place just changes your life. On the
other hand, information also wants to be free because the
cost is getting it out. is getting lower and lower all the
time. So you have these two things fighting against each
other. So that simplified the information wants to be free.
Information also wants to be expensive. And that tension will
never go not go away.
So how does this
play? Into the politics in assessing the semester
How is it really?
A class discussion?
Intellectual property in general
I should have done the slides I could do the copy left on the
left and copyright on the right.
Miss Moore says a lot of things that go into the open source
umbrella
so, it's not all about making information free any other
thoughts? about this?
I should say. So encryption is also an issue here.
So that belongs there. But also here
Is So encryption is a way to protect intellectual property.
And it's also used by people who are live free information as a
way to keep information private and away from authorities
right so about two thirds 1/3 In terms of
an afternoon somewhere not sending stonecrop questions and
accepting to me exactly
but that's what I'll be aiming for.
So social dilemmas movie is available for you to review on
your own so that's.
There were three short clips, negative particular topics and
they they are available So.
So the Kemp's presentation
PowerPoint is available both as a PowerPoint PDF
on March 21
Meeting page.
The media has been updated so the pictures of the whiteboard
so finish up today
so, today's
so I posted
I posted the midterm
anyone see an email about that
okay
so I want to talk just a bit about the infographic
submissions. So I wanted to share them
with the class. Not sure if the way that I'm sharing is breaking
your course or just because people are using your courses
too server sensibly. Anyway, as I was trying to do this was not
the sickness whether or not these energies
but I notice that not all the submissions are in a single page
image format. So some people submitted PDF so PDF can be
posted as an image. So I converted I began to convert
them at 300 Dots Per Inch to JPEG files. But then some of
them were not in one page. So I didn't put I didn't share the
ones that weren't in one page. So
let me see if I can show you what I did. So far with that.
There's 12345
Nope. Still 45678
So if you want
So I thought about having infographics. Infographics as a
topic for some exam questions. But I think that may be a bridge
Too. Far.
seemed more fair. So they saw you have some
great observations about your exam question.
So I said if you if you're not on one page, fix it and
resubmit. So I would say don't worry about that either.
If you'd like to do it well nobody is short. of things to do
at this time. of year.
Okay, so
I'll just take some time to go through the suggestions and we
can talk about things from the class in general. related to
those suggestions.
So the first one assuming your team designed a software and is
planning to launch it but they decide to not give you credit
for the work you've done. What can you do in the situation so
the inspiration I take from that
is
So, this was imagine a scenario so maybe
I'll lay out a situation a case study, perhaps and then give you
some options to how we might approach it with the
implications are
Does that seem fair?
Comprehensive question concerning ethics it should not
be to should not revolve around definitions and keywords but
rather the main idea. Question should concern the big ideas we
learned in class and details of how to understand and take
action against them.
So that doesn't necessarily look like a multiple choice question,
but it's maybe like the first one. What would you do in this
situation? What is
for this? It came in with the code of ethics and what is.
And the other formulations that are appealing.
I suggest mainly all important topics that help in our future.
So, how many people
forecast around vertical for the reason any urgent forecast
there was a joke a few years ago
that came up in
Fortran was assessed in the programming languages section of
the Warrens oral exam last year C stands for Formula
translation. That was one of the first ones first line high level
language was developed and the job was even years and gray
soccer to get back to a soccer she was involved with COBOL
COBOL common business oriented language so, these are very
early languages and groups joke. Here's the honest COBOL and non
use of Fortran but you're still with us. So.
That's me trying to be a bit more positive
comments of recent days so.
I suppose I can have some true and false questions
don't have to use all five responses for the Scantron sheet
who would be in favor of true and false questions
okay. Thank you for raising your hands
all right
ethics, AI and encryption
so one thing that came to me the other day was what if we
google accepted search strings and if it didn't find any
results it would pass on to the general AI and create what you
requested so the lines vary between the things that exist
that we can search and we can know about and of the things
that are fabricated
think I did this already.
Maybe there's a question there.
Oh,
just start over.
So it's ethics are important for computing but ethics are
important also because computing casts such a large shadow and
impacts every aspect of our lives.
So when we're talking about financial services or
applications talking about convenience, but what if the
people who need to have access to these accessory services
don't have access to the computing power they need. So
that's in general the digital divide
I'm not sure the title is called Robots ramblings.
Yeah, by the way, but Sir talk to Yes I think so.
up so in general Blair remembered is some of the film
was the company went on to sell the latest and greatest products
and so the she's an actress saw the supply of cards that allow
owner loves to repair themselves
so in the non animated world we have something similar
expressions of a directory pair
Okay. fallacies.
So I think I can work with that fallacies and the ethical issue
that are related or we could apply fallacies or
maybe an example of ethical analysis required to root out
fallacies. So maybe. Second look at some examples of fallacies
and arguments that were made and then you can identify the
fallacy.
So dark patterns lists the levels of Bloom's Taxonomy.
Find dark patterns
so, there is a common
one of the responses is cognitive if we need to why we
need to make those patterns more inclusive and not use
not to be too sensitive a phrase?
What are the issues there? So, that's in the ACM droid words
matter.
So, another example of this I remember I was meeting for FIRST
Robotics FIRST LEGO League and talking about the challenge for
the year and one of them they talked is on collecting garbage
waste represent the waste they take black
I know what shame was I thought then maybe that was a poor
choice. So, I'm not saying
saying things are wrong, but I think there's room to broaden
our horizons and realize that words aren't the same way
everyone competing more inclusive and more
representative of the demographics of the population
around us than we have to be.
That helps our cause if we are mindful of messages that are
communicated to other groups. Does that make sense? Just for
practical point of view, diversity in computing helps
improve computing. So the thing is facial recognition example
if we have people of all different skin colors involved
in the process and then the technology gets better and the
uses are maybe more thoughtfully considered as well.
Okay, the next question here is what can we do to mitigate bias
in AI?
Oh, that's about all of them.
So that leaves to the feedback that another questions at a time
we're about right so.
So keep roughly the same ratio.
100 to 120 questions. That's what I'm looking at.
Okay, one last response. I want to mention was paraphrase and
you can look at the response yourself.
Why do we need to worry about creating negative cases why on
just that
invisible hand where our API czar create the interface works
best and
so why do you need interfaces? It's important to engage humans
in the process
not just because computers are more trustworthy by nature. So
it's better to be human and work with human interface design
should be working on routine. Anyway, so last few minutes
here. Do you have any questions or concerns
Okay, well thank you very much

Responses

What important concept or perspective did you encounter today?

Today I learnt about the concept 'Information wants to be free.'
not really
about the contents of the final exam
The important concept today is what important topics will be on the exam
Today we learned about what the final exam would be on and what to review for it to prepare.
That as a society we should harmonize machine and human made interfaces.
Today we discuss about final exam
about finals
how overnment-granted monopolies conflict with public domain of information is one important perspective i have encountered.
Final Examination Review
All the directive details and guidelines I needed for the final examinations
ethic
I learned more about human relationship with technology
about final exam
Today we mostly talked about the final exam pattern, responses, etc.
After looking through the link provided with what I could do with my CS degree, I discovered that computer forensics is something I could potentiall get into. It sounds intesting and I didn't know it could be a career option for me.
Final exam
An important concept I encountered in class was the example of the movie Robots with the narrative of constantly needing to upgrade yourself or society will deem you obsolete. I see thing happening with cellphones where they stop working after some time, prompting users to buy the newest cellphone.
An important concept is that information is expensive because it if valuable but it also wants to be free, as in freely accessible to people
Keeping the human involved in computing allows us to stay grounded and maintain a safer relationship with technology
talk about the final exam question
nothing
A large portion of the class was focused on the final exam but the topics on dark patterns were interesting
Information wants to be free
final exam discussions
Final exam syllabus
The different paths that a computer science major can take. I liked the video game design and cybersecurity aspects.
An important perspective I encountered today was “free information” and the tradeoffs that come with free information and how many people are not willing to put their info in front of a paywall because they have no other way to monetize their work
not really
One thing that I found important was the idea that information wants to be free or expensive. It is interesting to think of it this way since I always considered it to either be information we wanted to share or data that we wanted to hide.
Final exam
finals
Final exam
Final exam review
important concept was What Can You Do with a Computer Science Degree? 10 In-Demand Fields
The final review of the course and the importance of ethics in the computer science field.
Discussion about Information wants to be free, humane interfaces, exam topics review
It's better to be on team human. Thank you for teaching the course.
Review on Final Examination areas of concentration
Today we learned about the topic of whether information should be free or expensive and discussed the type of questions to be asked in final exam.
Review on the final exam
about final
none
Mainly, the finals and the format
no
I think it was about the final exam information.
More detailed discussion about final exam and course content.
nothing as there was final exam and infographic discussion.
social dilemma
In today's class, we discussed our infographics, and how we can post them to share with the class. We aslo talked about our final exam which is on Tuesday. It will take place in the gym. We discussed the responses for the final exam, and what kinds of questions will be there, along with some of the topics that will be present as well.
no
Today in class we discussed the phrase “Information wants to be free, but information also wants to be expensive”. We talked about how information will have that implication as in the digital world, information is widely accessible, but can also be easily locked behind things such as paid services, encryption, etc. We talked about how this relationship will always seem to coexist in our current society.
Today talked about finals and the pattern of the finals.
An important concept I have encountered today was acknowledging how much material there is to study for the final exam.
Review for Final
taking about the Final exam.
Learned about final exam
The topics were discussed the one’s which will be coming in the finals
discussion on final exam
Today's important concept consisted of the final exam contents and details. It is the last day of classes. We recapped some material and went over the student suggestions for the final exam and went into detail about what some of the questions might look like or where they might come from. We finished up the topics and all we have left to do is post today's lesson and we are done!
No
Discussions on the final exam and what areas to concentrate on
Information
no
I don't know really. It was the last day of class... what can I say?
we just went through the final exam
today we talked about information wants to be free (wikipedia), where it the phrase encapsulated the idea that information, like a force of nature, desires both freedom and value. It also has been advocated for open access and criticized by those who argue for IP rights. Another thing we talked about today in class was what to prepare for the exam and what the format is kind of like. Another thing we talked about was the infographics.
Expensive vs free information
We revised the concepts that have come so far, as well as continuing the topic on equality
final related
I got to know about how the questions gonna be in the final term.
About the final exam and what should be the question.
discussed about finals
Review for finals
Yes I encounter how important this class is I am grateful to have this.
It was a farewell class and we discussed about Final exam
What Can You Do with a Computer Science Degree? 10 In-Demand Fields
Nothing
It was the last lecture so mostly the focus was on the finals, hence I learned about the finals which was important.
What Can You Do with a Computer Science Degree? 10 In-Demand Fields
Ethical background in comuter science
Discussion on important topics on the final
No
it all about exam summary
Final exam decision
human interface
Advanced technology
Discussion On final exam and its pattern.
Final exam review, and what topics will likely appear on the exam.
Today we got the idea about questions that will come in final exam.
An important concept I encountered today was the duality of information. Although information wants to be free, information wants to be expensive as well. Knowledge comes at a price, and often times if we do not have to pay for the product, then we are the product.
Talked about the final
Importance of ethics to computing and the world.
We discussed some responses and made some discussions about information wants to be free
No

no
I'd like to know more about what specific topics will be on the exam.
I would like to more was wheter I can do with a computer science degree, what fields would good areas for me
Nothing I'd like to know more right now but study and become more familiar with current material.
No, all good
about finals
more on the side effect of intellectual property on the development of public domain of information
No
Nothing in particular.
final exam
I like to know more about how we can relate better to computers or technology
nothing specific
No
No
N/a
no
I think all topics were well explained
How does the principle of “Information wants to be free” balance the need for open access with the protection of intellectual property rights?
I wanna take more classes in the future with Professor Daryl
