SUMMARY:Ethical, Social and Policy Issues in HPC
DESCRIPTION:Advances in HPC raise enduring and difficult social, economic,
  epistemological, and ethical issues. This fact is dramatically illustrate
 d by the successes and pitfalls of artificial intelligence. But there exis
 t many other social issues engendered by HPC. These outstanding issues are
  genuinely interdisciplinary: they cannot be adequately addressed without 
 input from experts inside and outside a traditional STEM sphere of influen
 ce. The goal of this symposium is to bring together researchers from diver
 se fields to share experiences addressing these difficult issues in HPC, g
 ain a mutual interdisciplinary understanding of their complexities, and di
 scuss issues of mutual interest at the international heart of HPC activity
 . This symposium will be a mix of invited speakers and spirited discussion
  among attendees.\n\nWelcome and Talk: How Can We Know If You're for Real?
  On the Evaluation of Ethics Signaling in AI\n\nJustin Biddle (Georgia Ins
 titute of Technology)\n---------------------\nDecision Procedures for Arti
 ficial Moral Agents\n\nWhenever one considers the possibility of designing
  ethical artificial intelligence (AI), it is tempting to think that the su
 ccess of such a project would depend on whether systems could be built to 
 implement the same kinds of ethical decision-making procedures as the ones
  we regard as appropriate f...\n\n\nTyler Cook (Georgia Institute of Techn
 ology)\n---------------------\nEight Years of Philosophy @HLRS — Reflectio
 ns on the Past, Present and Future of a Trans-Disciplinary Project\n\nThe 
 High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) has been operating a Ph
 ilosophy of Computational Sciences group since 2016. Its collaboration wit
 h HLRS and external simulation scientists has covered many topics ranging 
 from ethics and epistemology of simulations, to sociological aspects of HP

 --\nMorning Break\n---------------------\nBeyond Biomedical Simulations in
  Supercomputing: Ethical Challenges and Regulatory Obstacles with Boundary
  Conditions in Healthcare\n\nAchieving trustworthy AI systems with easy us
 ability for all stakeholders in the healthcare sector is challenging, as t
 rustworthiness has many facets. It has been shown that even when physician
 s lack knowledge or understanding, patients are usually willing to use dru
 gs that are demonstrably safe and...\n\n\nLuka Poslon (Catholic University
  of Croatia, Digital healthcare ethics laboratory (Digit-HeaL)) and Johann

  Libraries)\n---------------------\nTowards Understanding the Societal Imp
 act of Open Science\n\nOpen science has been a central priority of U.S. fe
 deral research and policy goals in the 21st century. "Open science" is und
 erstood as an umbrella term covering various issues of "openness" in scien
 tific practice and knowledge sharing, including democratic participation i

 Laboratories)\n---------------------\nPrivate and Equitable Access for Lar
 ge-Scale Systems\n\nLarge-scale systems collect enormous amounts of data a
 nd metadata about users located around the globe. Access to such systems f
 aces regulatory, political, economic, and technological barriers, while pr
 ivacy constraints prevent data sharing. We discuss operational practices f

 rmance Computing: A Call for Advocacy\n\nHPC is at the forefront of the pr
 esent and future generations’ biggest challenges in social, economic, epis
 temological, and ethical issues related to sustainability, equity, accessi
 bility, and justice. At its best, HPC is a powerful tool that can be used 
 for the social good of humanity by gove...\n\n\nElaine M. Raybourn (Sandia
