tinker with the problem of ethics is to let them do in class the Moral Machine test developed at MIT:

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ll repay Mar’s kind shoutout with a plug for her own excellent <i>Programmed Inequality: How Britain Discarded Women Technologists and Lost Its Edge in Computing,
</i>which among many other contributions articulates how concepts and discourses of “intelligence” are always gendered (especially in the history of computing/AI).<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ll also plug Jacob Gaboury’s series of articles in <i>Rhizome
</i>from several years ago on the queer history of computing along similar lines: <a href="http://rhizome.org/editorial/2013/feb/19/queer-computing-1/">http://rhizome.org/editorial/2013/feb/19/queer-computing-1/</a><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">More broadly, I think (along with many, some of whom Mar and others have named) it’s valuable to consider “ethics” as a capacious term. The “ethos” of a society covers a lot (social mores, culture, habits, customs, biases, etc etc)!<o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I'd suggest Safiya Noble's _Algorithms of Oppression_. Chapters of it have been excerpted around the web--in Time magazine and Wired--if you want to give just a small section to your undergrads.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I'd also suggest the article about CCM in the Atlantic by Sarah Roberts, which I use in my classes--it's important for students to understand how AI gets implemented and trained. Cynthia B. Lee, a computer scientist at Stanford is also
working on these issues and may have some articles that would work for an undergraduate audience.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Then there's Meredith Broussard's new _Artificial Unintelligence_ and Virginia Eubanks's _Automating Inequality_. Simone Browne's _Dark Matters_ is useful since the history of AI is also a history of surveillance, relying as it does on
categorization and data collection. Latanya Sweeney also has several good articles about the racial and gender biases that construct google search.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I also often have my undergrads read Alan Turing's 1950 article in Mind, and talk about how Turing's life and the context of postwar Britain affected his work. I find that giving them the context of early AI research (codebreaking, queerness)
alongside the article really helps them recognize the stakes--and that so many of the "new" issues we're confronting today aren't really new at all.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also keep an eye on the work of Luke Stark: <a href="https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstarkcontrast.co%2Fbook&data=02%7C01%7Cluke.stark%40dartmouth.edu%7C3ae33c10871d4f4d7a0608d5aa0c961f%7C995b093648d640e5a31ebf689ec9446f%7C0%7C0%7C636601893397310934&sdata=2OVpt3VaY6DPhNS1sK3R4p%2FT1vUT1VC5OwlhTZ3wk3w%3D&reserved=0">https://starkcontrast.co/book</a><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">And, within a year or two there will be a new edited volume called Your Computer is On Fire published by MIT Press (coedited by Tom Mullaney, Kavita Philip, Ben Peters, and myself) pitched towards undergrads and the general public that
looks at the history of everything from Siri's accent imperialism to transphobic algorithmic bias.<o:p></o:p></p>
