Lively panel discussion at the end of #WIConf24 on #GreenCoding: This approach to improving the ecological sustainability of software systems remains mostly confined to academic and specialized communities. What needs to be done to make Green Coding more accessible and efficient?
-
An innovative horizon scanning approach presented by Lorenz Erdmann at #WIConf24 shows how digital transformation affects research, transformation policy and the day-to-day business of organizations. The results show: this approach can help to eliminate biases in future thinking.

#Cybersecurity and the communication about it are crucial in the digital age. In their study, Florian Meissner et al analyzed tweets from Germany's BSI, which aims to protect digital consumers but often posts vague, self-referential tweets. Their model could help. #WIConf24

Great talk by Josephine B. Schmitt (@CAISnrw), who studied peoples visions for a #sustainable and #digital #future. Their experiences and realities are often not included in sustainability policies, but they provide a broad spectrum of expectations and a rich tapestry of imaginaries. #WIConf24

Technologies are human made, Sigrid Kannengießer (University of Münster) therefore focuses on those practices of (infra)structuring #AI. Who are the actors, how are they using technologies, and how are they shaping them towards more #sustainability? #WIConf24

Ina Schieferdecker kicking off Day 2 of #WIConf24 with her keynote (adapted after the panel last night) addressing some of the prominent myths about technology: Innovation is never just technical, it is always sociotechnical. And there is no dichotomy between technology and green.

Are we living in "the second machine age", will #GenAI replace jobs and substitute humans?
Florian Butollo & Ann Katzinski investigated GenAIs effect on knowledge work. At #WIConf24 they stress that new skills are needed to manage these tools, that they rely heavily on human intelligence and that there have been automation rebound effects in the past. -

"In the age of polycrisis, it is more important than ever for us as a collective to give a direction of where we are going." In her #WIConf24 keynote, @francescabria talks about the major technological trends in front of us, with major geopolitical implications. She argues for an anti-monopoly approach to governing #AI and to audit big players that control the tech stack and set the rules of the game.
