Computing ethics, including big data use, computer security research, and artificial intelligence development, often falls outside of traditional human subjects research laws and ethical approaches. But such research can still produce harms. In response, computing researchers have developed a range of ethical guidelines and governance approaches. This session will focus on learning about attempts at computing ethics research governance that have emerged outside of IRB review.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the governance vacuum created by the mismatch between computing research and traditional human subjects research
  • Constructively critique emerging forms of computing research ethics governance
  • Create ideas for new ways to support computing ethics governance with existing research ethics expertise
