IEEE Technology and Society Magazine - September 2022 - 24

Guest Editors' Introduction
topics from science and technology studies (STS)
and virtue ethics perspectives (Safiya Noble and
Shannon Vallor, respectively); modern-day espionage
(Ron Deibert); as well as the implications of
machine learning and modern technology for future
directions in environmental stewardship (Adam
Greenfield) and healthcare diagnostics (Carolyn
McGregor). As can be glimpsed from the diversity
of keynote topics, " Technological Stewardship and
Responsible Innovation " is not just the domain of a
single discipline, but can be viewed as the harmonious
assemblage of several; this multifaceted terrain
was also evident in the breadth of topics on display
in ISTAS21 special sessions and paper panels, which
ranged from robots for ethical care to racist data
artifacts; from ethics education to emerging technologies;
and from water management to (cyber-)
warfare.
ISTAS21 was enriched through a collaboration
with the IEEE International Symposium on Ethics in
Engineering, Science, and Technology (ETHICS), a
conference series with which IEEE SSIT has been
associated since its inception in 2014. In partnering
with ISTAS21 and selecting " Engineering and Corporate
Social Responsibility " (CSR) as this year's ETHICS-2021
theme, the organizers brought an additional
important set of perspectives to the conference program,
emphasizing the possibilities, tensions, and
complexities that emerge with attempts to integrate
responsible innovation ideals and tech stewardship
goals within the corporate sector. The dedicated
ETHICS-2021 track included a keynote that showcased
how the " Top of Mind Ethics " (TOME) heuristic
can enable tech organizations to better integrate
ethics into their workflow (Will Griffin) and seven
special sessions, which are now available for viewing
on the SSIT channel of IEEE.tv, as well as four
paper panels, content from which comprises the
ETHICS-2021 Conference Proceedings. Attendees at
these sessions gained insights into the diverse ways
in which individuals, teams, and organizations are
striving to mobilize the concept of CSR beyond its
often-assumed status as a mere catchphrase or
attempt at a " value add " in the eyes of stakeholders.
Speakers interrogated how the concept might
instead (or, at least, also) serve as a prompt motivating
corporate stakeholders to actively consider and
take seriously some of the core tenets of responsible
innovation and technological stewardship, that
is, the fact that technological developments have a
24
real impact on humans, societies, nonmoral agents
(such as animals), and the environment and that
corporations have a significant role to play in shaping
those impacts.
As an added bonus, ISTAS21 registration included
access to the Second Annual International Workshop
on Artificial Intelligence for Equity (AI4Eq), a
one-day " preconference " symposium organized by
Jeremy Pitt and Maria Tzanou on the theme " Against
Modern Indentured Servitude. " Recordings of the
workshop's two keynote addresses and four panel
sessions are available on the SSIT channel of IEEE.tv,
and the AI4Eq speakers expand on their remarks in
the June 2022 special issue of this magazine (highly
recommended viewing/reading!). The symposium
raised crucial questions about and offered incisive
perspectives on some of technology's most urgent
and damaging consequences for citizens of our
21st-century world, beautifully setting the stage for
the conversations about responsible innovation and
technological stewardship that unfolded over the
four-day ISTAS21/ETHICS-2021 conference.
Diverse perspectives, yet common
aspirations
In navigating the process of selecting, reviewing,
and providing feedback on contributions to this
special issue, we have embraced the interdisciplinary
ethos of the conference's overall theme. We
came together as a diverse group of practitioners,
scholars, and educators whose areas of expertise
range from the applied fields of computer science
and engineering to the social science fields of STS
and engineering pedagogy to the humanities fields
of communication studies and literature. Before
embarking on the daunting task of organizing a
flagship, international conference (and then putting
together a special issue) during a global pandemic,
most of us had never (and still have not) met
in person. Yet, thanks to both our shared commitments
and our diverging approaches to the study
and practice of engineering, ethics, pedagogy, and
philosophy, we have learned from one another and
developed as thinkers in profound ways over the past
two years. We have come to appreciate the different
lenses through which we each perceive the world
as we strive in varied ways to cultivate and promote
the mindset required for responsible innovation. The
ISTAS21/ETHICS-2021 conference offered a space in
which to spark those types of mutually instructive
