Please join us for a CWEMF informational workshop on ethical decision-making in environmental and water resources modeling. The workshop will be facilitated by Dr. Brian Green of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University. Dr. Green is the director of technology ethics at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics. His work is focused on the ethics of technology, including such topics as AI and ethics, the ethics of space exploration and use, the ethics of technological manipulation of humans, the ethics of mitigation of and adaptation towards risky emerging technologies (including ones with catastrophic risk potential), and various aspects of the impact of technology and engineering on human life and society.
