From page 5...
... Computing researchers should seek out such advice. To buttress responsible computing research efforts, research institutions, scientific societies, and research sponsors should develop ways for computing researchers to identify scholars with the ethical, societal impact, and domain expertise their projects require and provide support for such scholars to collaborate in the research.
From page 6...
... Specific opportunities for such engagement include informing the public, assisting public- and private-sector acquirers of computing technologies, and bringing potential adverse consequences of emerging technologies to the attention of governments and other public organizations. In addition, universities, research sponsors, and scientific so cieties should create opportunities for computing researchers to learn how to effectively serve in advisory capacities.

... Second, the recommendations for changes in computing education will help ensure that future computing professionals across industry, not just in research, are better equipped to address ethical and societal concerns. Summary 7

... Concerns such as these and others have led to increasing calls for governments to act both in making wiser decisions about their own use of computing technology and in revising regulations or implementing new ones. Furthermore, computing research has an obligation to support human flourishing, thriving societies, and a healthy planet.
From page 11...
... This eco system benefits greatly from multi-directional flows of ideas, artifacts, technologies, and people. These multidirectional flows speed up the pace of deployment of computing research, fueling transformative results across every sector of the U.S.

... 1.3 THE NATURE OF THE COMPUTING RESEARCH ECOSYSTEM Many actors participate in the multi-step translation of research results into deployed algorithms, devices and systems, including researchers, research sponsors, entrepre neurs, investors, and corporate leaders. The roles played by the various participants in 12 FOSTERING RESPONSIBLE COMPUTING RESEARCH
From page 13...
... Furthermore, choices among research topics and research methods are determinative of possible computing technologies. In focusing on computing research, this study considers how ethical and societal impact challenges can be addressed at this consequential foundational stage, and the practical steps that computing researchers, the research community as a whole, research sponsors, and research-performing institutions can take toward fostering the development of computing technologies that more often serve social good and less often cause harm.
