Can Education Stop Killer Robots? Exploring Values, Ethics, and Impacts in K12 Computer Science Instruction

Wed, April 8, 11:45am to 1:15pm PDT (11:45am to 1:15pm PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Room 515A

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

This structured poster session will build community and dialogue focused on engaging students and teachers with computing’s ethical and social impacts in K12 education contexts. This is a critical topic to examine during the current moment in which algorithmic bias and obsession with generative AI are both perpetuating and exacerbating racial, gender, and economic inequities, yet in which 39% of computing teachers do not see the importance of discussing these issues in their classrooms (Noble, 2018; Benjamin, 2019; Gebru, 2020; Koshy et al., 2021). Perspectives rooted in the work of educational researchers, Computer Science Teachers Association standards writers, curriculum and professional development providers, and teachers will support rich conversation in this AERA session.
