SUMMARY:MS5F - Ethical and Societal Considerations for Scientific Computin
 g
DESCRIPTION:Minisymposium\n\nWhile significant investments have been made 
 in the exploration of ethics in computation, recent advances in high perfo
 rmance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) have reignited a d
 iscussion for more responsible and ethical computing with respect to the d
 esign and development of pervasive sociotechnical systems within the conte
 xt of existing and evolving societal norms and cultures. The ubiquity of H
 PC in everyday life presents complex sociotechnical challenges for all who
  seek to practice responsible computing and ethical technological innovati
 on. We wish to discuss the ways we can incorporate ethics into all phases 
 of scientific computing developments and deployments to ensure that the de
 sired scientific outcome is achieved fully in a context that ethically con
 siders humans and society rather than just the technical requirements. We 
 will share experiences from those who have incorporated ethics into what t
 hey do to demonstrate that ethics and technical achievement are not at odd
 s. We also will include perspectives on ethics to promote a lively discuss
 ion to seek balance in how we pursue scientific progress. The panel discus
 sion in this session will address lessons learned and facilitate audience 
 interaction aimed at enabling informed decision-making regarding ethics an
 d responsible computing.\n\nEthical and Societal Considerations in HPC Edu
 cation and Training\n\nThe increasing quantities of data and rapid advance
 s in AI have sparked discussions around ethical considerations of computat
 ional research and societal ramifications of technology applied to every a
 spect of our lives. What about High Performance Computing? Is the use of H
 PC neutral in the contexts ...\n\n\nWeronika Filinger and Neil Chue Hong (

 odels and Code Generation\n\nProgramming scientific computing systems is a
  complex job constantly under labor pressures. Financial incentives from i
 ndustry and potential work visa and export control restrictions make emplo
 yment in this sector even more difficult. With the appearance of LLM-based

 increasingly directly impact society. This can be observed by the growing 
 number of disciplines and domain sciences relying on access to large-scale
