It seems like a great idea to bring these questions to students while they’re working with CS/programming/CT concepts themselves. 

One thing I would suggest, to help both students and teachers, is to connect each question or set of questions to some artifact or experience. 

For example, an article about the VW emissions scandal, or a video of the Boston dynamics robots, or the MIT moral machine.

I am trying to create a structure to help some teachers in CS/STEM courses that help students think about why we are learning certain things while also bridging in ethical, moral, and societal aspects.

In my head I would like to create something where each week there is a question for students to ponder, reflect, explore resources, and decide where they fall in the spectrum. I would love to have conversation and discussion around the topics while they work on CS and STEM standards throughout the course.

Curious what you all would consider good questions

For example, I was considering some of the following:

Is Amazon Alexa considered AI?

What do you value more: privacy or safety?

Should you have a choice in your AI philosophy of your vehicle - altruist vs. egoist?

Please add questions to this document that you think are good
