Brian Hedden<\/a>, an accomplished scholar with a strong academic career, recently added another feather to his cap. Already an esteemed faculty member at MIT, Hedden was appointed as the co-associate dean of the Social and Ethical Responsibilities of Computing (SERC) on January 16. This new role represents a key expansion of the leadership team within MIT’s Schwarzman College of Computing’s SERC initiative.<\/p>\n

Wyj\u0105tkowe po\u0142\u0105czenie: filozofia spotyka si\u0119 z technologi\u0105<\/h5>\n

With dual roles in both the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy and the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) Department, Hedden’s broad academic experience bridges the gap between philosophy and technology. His academic journey started with a BA from Princeton and eventually led him to earn his PhD in philosophy from MIT. Before joining MIT’s faculty in the fall of 2023, he had made his mark at other prestigious institutions like the Australian National University and the University of Sydney.<\/p>\n

Beyond the Appointment: Brian Hedden’s Contributions<\/h5>\n

MIT’s dean of the Schwarzman College of Computing, Dan Huttenlocher, has high praise for Hedden, stating that Brian was a ‘natural and compelling choice’ due to his philosophical insights into the increasingly complex challenges in the contemporary education and research landscape, notably in the arenas of computing and AI. With immersion in fields like epistemology, decision theory, and ethics, Hedden is well placed to understand and respond to the implications of our data-driven world.<\/p>\n

Hedden’s work doesn’t stop at academia. His scholarship focuses on practical applications and explores how individuals and institutions should form beliefs and make decisions. Through his work, he offers philosophical lenses on contemporary ethical issues, especially within the realm of artificial intelligence. He authored “Reasons without Persons: Rationality, Identity, and Time”, and his publications explore a wide range of topics, like legal standards of proof, algorithmic fairness, and political polarization.<\/p>\n

W ramach nowej funkcji Hedden b\u0119dzie wsp\u00f3\u0142pracowa\u0142 z Nikosem Trichakisem, wsp\u00f3\u0142dziekanem i profesorem zarz\u0105dzania im. J.C. Penneya w MIT Sloan School of Management, w celu wytyczenia kierunku dzia\u0142a\u0144 SERC w zakresie bada\u0144, nauczania i zaanga\u017cowania spo\u0142ecznego. Hedden zast\u0105pi profesora Caspara Hare'a, kt\u00f3ry zako\u0144czy swoj\u0105 kadencj\u0119 we wrze\u015bniu 2025 roku.<\/p>\n

Misja i wp\u0142yw organizacji SERC<\/h5>\n

Program SERC, uruchomiony w 2020 roku, odegra\u0142 kluczow\u0105 rol\u0119 w podkre\u015blaniu znaczenia posiadania w\u0142a\u015bciwych \u201cnawyk\u00f3w my\u015blenia i dzia\u0142ania\u201d przez osoby pracuj\u0105ce na pierwszej linii rozwoju technologii informatycznych. Inicjatywa ta promuje wsp\u00f3\u0142prac\u0119 interdyscyplinarn\u0105 i wspiera rozw\u00f3j technologii przynosz\u0105cych korzy\u015bci spo\u0142ecze\u0144stwu.<\/p>\n

W ramach SERC realizowanych jest kilka inicjatyw maj\u0105cych na celu osi\u0105gni\u0119cie tych cel\u00f3w. Program stypendialny SERC<\/a> \u0142\u0105czy student\u00f3w z mentorami na etapie podoktoranckim, aby mogli dog\u0142\u0119bnie zg\u0142\u0119bia\u0107 kwestie etyczne zwi\u0105zane z informatyk\u0105. To ekscytuj\u0105ce coroczny konkurs<\/a> zach\u0119ca uczni\u00f3w do wyobra\u017cenia sobie przysz\u0142o\u015bci informatyki. A cykl studi\u00f3w przypadk\u00f3w publikowanych dwa razy w roku<\/a> rzuca \u015bwiat\u0142o na dylematy etyczne zwi\u0105zane z technologi\u0105, dostarczaj\u0105c istotnych spostrze\u017ce\u0144 i zwi\u0119kszaj\u0105c \u015bwiadomo\u015b\u0107.<\/p>\n

W 2024 roku SERC zrobi\u0142o kolejny krok naprz\u00f3d i wprowadzi\u0142o program dotacji pocz\u0105tkowych<\/a>, otwieraj\u0105c nowe mo\u017cliwo\u015bci dla naukowc\u00f3w z MIT zajmuj\u0105cych si\u0119 opracowywaniem technologii zgodnych z zasadami etyki. Od momentu uruchomienia program ten wspar\u0142 24 ambitne projekty<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wszystkie te dzia\u0142ania, w po\u0142\u0105czeniu z mianowaniem Heddena, podkre\u015blaj\u0105 zaanga\u017cowanie SERC w integracj\u0119 rozumowania etycznego jako centralnego elementu edukacji i bada\u0144 w dziedzinie informatyki na MIT.
