SUMMARY:Ethical and Societal Considerations in HPC Education and Training
DESCRIPTION:Minisymposium\n\nWeronika Filinger and Neil Chue Hong (EPCC, U
 niversity of Edinburgh); Jeremy Cohen (Imperial College London); and Krist
 y Pringle (EPCC)\n\nThe increasing quantities of data and rapid advances i
 n AI have sparked discussions around ethical considerations of computation
 al research and societal ramifications of technology applied to every aspe
 ct of our lives. What about High Performance Computing? Is the use of HPC 
 neutral in the contexts of fairness, societal impact and accessibility? Wh
 at does that imply for HPC education and training? How should we educate t
 he current and future generations of computational scientists and Research
  Software Engineers to maximise benefits of HPC and computational science 
 for individuals and society and minimise risk and harm?  How should we tea
 ch research ethics and integrity when we struggle to define what they mean
  for HPC? \n\nAs educators, can we increase awareness of the costs and ben
 efits of HPC? What can we teach about effective use of resources and minim
 ising the impact of research utilising HPC on the environment? What should
  be done to make HPC more accessible and can we make it a viable career op
 tion for underrepresented groups? Will AI be democratising or polarising f
 or HPC, and how do we teach appropriate use? The goal of this presentation
  is to start a discussion and gather community feedback to start outlining
  best practices.\n\nDomain: Applied Social Sciences and Humanities\n\nSess
