Resources to Read

Then…
Individually, you will be thinking through ethical blind spots in your project.
- To make this concrete, you should pick 3 of the tarot cards that you think could apply to your system. Many of them may not apply, but I encourage you to really reflect on what could happen if someone was really bent on abusing your technology (or the outcome of your project)
- Before turning it in on Google Classroom, print out a copy that you can bring to class
Finally
On Friday, we will discuss with groups, and also with the class, some of the ethical implications of our work. Each group will add a section to their System Design document that explicitly discusses the “Broader Impact” of their projects.
