TLDR
Computing for social good has become a common topic in computing circles, with professional organizations and conferences sponsoring discussions on the relevance of "social good" material for computer science research and for education.Abstract:
Computing for social good has become a common topic in computing circles, with professional organizations and conferences sponsoring discussions on the relevance of "social good" material for computer science research [e.g., 1] and for education [e.g., 12,13,18].read more

Coverage of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning within Academic Literature, Canadian Newspapers, and Twitter Tweets: The Case of Disabled People
Aspen Lillywhite,Gregor Wolbring +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that the term “patient” was used 20 times more than the terms “disabled people” and “people with disabilities” together to identify disabled people within the AI/ML literature covered, and that AI/ml coverage must change, if disabled people are to become meaningful contributors to, and beneficiaries of, discussions around AI/ ML.

Computational Sustainability: A Socio-technical Perspective
Deya Chatterjee,Shrisha Rao +1 more
TL;DR: This is a consolidated look at computational techniques for sustainability, and their limits and possibilities, from bio-surveillance to poverty mapping, from renewable energy production forecasting to crop disease monitoring, and from agent-based modeling to stochastic network design.

Humanitarian Applications Increase Interest and Motivation of Women in Computing
TL;DR: This article found that women are more interested in humanitarian applications as opposed to non-humanitarian and women were more motivated by humanitarian applications than nonhumanitarian ones, while men were less interested in developing nonhumanitarians than humanitarian ones.

Integrating sustainability into undergraduate computing education
TL;DR: This paper presents three sustainability integration strategies, efforts to develop a green computing course and learning modules, and course evaluation, and believes that sustainability integration will help prepare graduates with computing competencies, multi-disciplinary knowledge, and computational thinking to create a sustainable future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computer science education for social good
TL;DR: The goal was to bring together current and future CSG-Ed practitioners, to share best practices, discover new collaborators, review common pitfalls (and how they can be avoided), and discuss how SIGCAS can support the many varied individual and group CSg-Ed efforts.
