Mason Technology Ethics
A Research Project at George Mason University.
The Mason Tech Ethics project focuses on how students can be better prepared to face the challenge of working with technology broadly, but algorithms, AI, and new emerging technologies specifically. The activity central to our work is the Role-Play Scenario (RPS), which allows students to take the information presented through a case and apply it by being situated within the actual case. Students take on the roles of different stakeholders within the case, and negotiate the details of the case to achieve a shared goal.
