I want to know why computer science programs have no tech ethics course requirements when the industry promises students that they have the power to change the world
How the hell are you qualified to build a social media platform (or a search engine!) without learning basic concepts of sociology, politics, participatory journalism, ethical dissemination of information, etc?
Tons of people have talked about the destructive path of moving fast, and not fully atoning for the things we break (perhaps most eloquently explained by @KimCrayton1). This feels like something an entry level technology course should be introducing to students at a basic level
Also, I graduated from a university that teaches computer science agnostically so I truly do not know the answer to how to fix this
Oh my gosh, this is a lukewarm take that needed to clarify that some CS programs do in fact have requirements. Stop liking this terribly phrased tweet and like these instead 👇
