Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

As concerns around climate change escalate, the need to address the environmental impacts of computing becomes more dire. While urgent action is needed, there is also opportunity to rectify longstanding inequities and injustices present in the relationship between computing and the environment. The aim of this one-day hybrid workshop is to gather researchers and practitioners and develop a material ethics of computing. We frame material ethics as a shared understanding of the relations between material and labor that shape digital infrastructures. Through presentations, discussions, and facilitated activities, we aim to build a research community to understand how computing facilitate sites of environmental damage and degradation, and also spaces for justice, change, and hope.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
