[quote=Anonymous]Actor Kumail Nanjiani, a Grinnell grad and one of the stars of HBO’s Silicon Valley, had some interesting observations after meetings with tech folks in SV while doing research for the show. He remarked how the tech folks were so eager to show them what they could do, but had given absolutely zero thought to whether they should do it or not. The had given no consideration to the ethical implications of their work. They didn’t even have a glib, PR response approved response when asked. Liberal arts schools ask their students these questions. They challenge their students to not just think about how to code to develop a product, but to consider how that product will be used in the world, who it will help of harm, and so on. I’m sure this is discussed at big universities as well, but this kind of inquiry is built into the DNA of a liberal arts education. [/quote]
