... Institutional review board reviews cover only certain types of data intensive research, and only some facets of the use of data from humans, as discussed in a recent Department of Health and Hu man Services panel.141 By contrast, responsible computing research requires looking at a broader set of issues associated with data-intensive computational modeling.142 This point was emphasized by Eric Horvitz in his presentation to the committee.143 3.4.4 Designing for Responsibility The usability of a computing technology is a crucial determiner of whether it will func tion as intended. Its usability, and more specifically its accessibility, will determine the va riety of users who will be able to interact with it.

... They illustrate the need for close integration of a wide range of disciplinary perspectives pertaining to ethical and societal factors of the type described in previous sections -- including social and behavioral science, policy, and governance -- and the importance of bringing these perspectives into consideration at the earliest stages of the computing research pipeline. They also show the limits on what can be achieved from a purely technical point of view if this range of perspectives is not invoked until after systems have been deployed.
