Recent conversations about ethics training in technology has prompted me to compile a list of tech-related ethics curriculum across disciplines. Please add your own classes (even if one part of a broader class) and RT! https://t.co/rfj4tlmiy9

@cfiesler We're trying to teach mathematicians about the existence of ethics in the profession. It hasn't been easy, but we've come up with a short course on it, designed specifically for mathematicians. There are no other mathematics departments doing this, as far as we can see.

On Thursday 12th October, 5:30pm, NSA whistleblower William Binney and security specialist @ArjenKamphuis are speaking at the Cambridge University Ethics in Mathematics society. The talk will be hosted at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences, room MR2. We hope to see you there!

@TomOwens @anildash @mor10 There are no books about ethics for mathematicians. No courses. Nothing. We are doing everything we can to change this, but it is hard.

[Ethics in Maths @cueims]

@TomOwens @anildash @mor10 Mathematicians receive no ethical training. Many pride themselves on how their work is "pure" and moral-free. We think this is wrong.

[Ethics in Maths @cueims]

@mnot We were very proud to have hosted this, and are grateful that public figures like @rossjanderson are promoting Ethics in Mathematics.

[Ethics in Maths @cueims]

@j2bryson Thanks @j2bryson . We look forward to hosting you.

[Joanna J Bryson @j2bryson]

This is about @cueims — Nice undergraduate initiative; I look forward to meeting them too.
