While kidney disease affects one in seven adults in the United States, it impacts Black patients much more. They are four times more likely to suffer from kidney failure than white U.S. residents, and a 2021 study indicates that computer algorithms that determine eligibility for a kidney transplant often put Black people at a disadvantage, widening the gap for a successful recovery.

Ethics, Computer Science, and Writing: The Challenge and Opportunity…

The University of Miami has a long track record in studying ethics and information technology. This special event links the Institute for Data Science and Computing (IDSC), the University’s new Department of Writing Studies, and the UM Ethics Programs on a panel to address challenges related to the explosive interest in—and use of—Artificial Intelligence programs that generate text and computer code.

A multidisciplinary expert panel will review (i) concerns about using computers to write assignments, (ii) credible and interesting uses of text-generation programs, and (iii) options for institutional responses and policies to address these issues. This is a hybrid event hosted by Nicholas Tsinoremas, PhD, Director, IDSC; Kenneth W. Goodman, PhD, FACMI, FACE, Director, IDSC Data Ethics + Society; and Joanna Johnson, PhD, Assoc. Professor, Department of Writing Studies.

Monday 1/23/2023 • 12:00-1:00 PM | Richter Library, 3rd Floor Conference Room #343
