beh, perche' quelli devono essere fatti dalle policies che devono essere approvate. idealmente anche impegni di non discriminazione dovrebbero essere assicurati dalle aziende. pero' penso che non discriminazione sia un punto fondamentale che vale la pena proporre di aggiungere esplicitamente. vedremo..

Più in generale mi pare che la proposta di legge sulla sharing economy non consideri molto il trattamento del fruitore del servizio. Si preoccupa giustamente del rapporto tra piattaforma e fornitore di servizi ma molto meno degli standard che quest'ultimo deve soddisfare.

New Report: "Perspectives on Big Data, Ethics, and Society"

by J.C. DE MARTIN

*Perspectives on Big Data, Ethics, and Society* May 23, 2016 URL: http://bdes.datasociety.net/council-output/perspectives-on-big-data-ethics-… Download Full Report (PDF) http://bdes.datasociety.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Perspectives-on-Big-… The Council for Big Data, Ethics, and Society publishes a comprehensive white paper consolidating conversations and ideas from two years of meetings and discussions. Report Prepared By: Jacob Metcalf, Emily F. Keller, and danah boyd I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Council for Big Data, Ethics, and Society was convened to bring together researchers from diverse fields who were thinking deeply about ethical, social and policy challenges associated with the rise of “big data” research and industry, with an eye toward developing recommendations about future directions for the field. Our reports, meetings, and ongoing conversations have consistently indicated that there is a disjunction between the familiar concepts and infrastructures of science and engineering, on the one hand, and the epistemic, social, and ethical dynamics of big data research and practice, on the other. We contend that facilitating ethical conduct in data science and related endeavors requires careful consideration of big data’s broad technical, social, and political contexts. Big data is marked by technical advances in storage capacity, speed, and price points of data collection and analysis, and by a move towards understanding data as continuously collected, almost-infinitely networkable, and highly flexible. The ability to analyze datasets from highly disparate contexts and generate new, unanticipated knowledge sets the stage for both the power and peril of big data research and broader data science-related analysis. The conceptual, regulatory, and institutional resources of research ethics developed over the last 70 years were premised on assumptions about human data research practices that sometimes do not easily apply to data analytics work done under the umbrella of big data. This results in conflicts over whether big data research methods should be excluded from or forced to meet existing norms, whether existing norms should be made to accommodate the special circumstances of big data, or whether entirely new norms and institutional commitments are needed. The Council’s findings, outputs, and recommendations—including those described in this white paper as well as those in earlier reports—address concrete manifestations of these disjunctions between big data research methods and existing research ethics paradigms. We have identified policy changes that would encourage greater engagement and reflection on ethics topics. We have indicated a number of pedagogical needs for data science instructors, and endeavored to fulfill some of them. We have also explored cultural and institutional barriers to collaboration between ethicists, social scientists, and data scientists in academia and industry around ethics challenges. Overall, our recommendations are geared toward those who are invested in a future for data science, big data analytics, and artificial intelligence guided by ethical considerations along with technical merit.

"Programmers Aren't Writing Green Code Where It's Most Needed"

by J.C. DE MARTIN

*Programmers Aren't Writing Green Code Where It's Most Needed* Written by Michael Byrne May 22, 2016 // 09:00 AM EST Confession? I don't write green code. I mean, it might be green code just by coincidence, but I've never really thought too much about the relative energy consumption demanded by this design pattern or algorithm versus some other. Sadly, this is true even when I'm working with actual hardware and low-level software, such as that written in plain C for embedded devices (in my case, for an Arduino board or other microcontroller platform). What's more, I don't think the green code idea has ever come up in my years of computer science classes. I'm hardly the exception, according to a paper presented this week at the 38th International Conference on Software Engineering. In interviews and surveys conducted with 464 software engineers from a range of disciplines—including mobile, data center, embedded, and traditional software development—researchers found that where green coding most matters, its practice is rare.
